Type Confusion Vulnerability in HTMLSelectElement in Blink

CVE-2014-1731 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

core/html/HTMLSelectElement.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.131 on Windows and OS X and before 34.0.1847.132 on Linux, does not properly check renderer state upon a focus event, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion" for SELECT elements.
