CVE-2015-5605

Publication date 22 July 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The regular-expression implementation in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89, mishandles interrupts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted JavaScript code, as demonstrated by an error in garbage collection during allocation of a stack-overflow exception message.
