Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 49.0.2623.87 Opera (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the ImageInputType::ensurePrimaryContent function in WebKit/Source/core/html/forms/ImageInputType.cpp in Blink, which does not properly maintain the user agent shadow DOM. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion."
