Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 41.0.2272.76

Description The issue is related to multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the DOM implementation in Blink, which can be triggered by vectors that cause extraneous change events. This can lead to a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts. The vulnerability is associated with the initializeTypeInParsing and updateType functions and can be exploited via events for invalid input or input to read-only fields.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 41.0.2272.76, update to version 41.0.2272.76 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the initializeTypeInParsing and updateType functions in the core/html/HTMLInputElement.cpp file until a patch is available. Avoid using the initializeTypeInParsing and updateType functions in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
