The texSubImage2D implementation in the WebGL subsystem in Google Chrome before 20.0.1132.43 does not properly handle uploads to floating-point textures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web page, as demonstrated by certain WebGL performance tests, aka rdar problem 11520387.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-2819 is an old Google Chrome WebGL flaw fixed before Chrome 20.0.1132.43. A malicious web page could crash the browser through mishandled floating-point texture uploads. The public record also says “possibly unspecified other impact,” but does not provide stronger evidence of code execution or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Chrome or Chromium-derived builds older than 20.0.1132.43, or vendor-packaged browsers without the referenced fix. Modern managed browsers should not be exposed if they receive normal updates. Treat as a legacy-browser hygiene issue unless old Chrome/Chromium builds are still present. Business urgency rises for kiosks, lab systems, or unmanaged endpoints that browse the internet with obsolete browsers. Mitigation focus: Update Chrome or Chromium-derived packages to vendor-fixed versions.; Confirm Chrome is at least 20.0.1132.43 or has a vendor backport.; Apply relevant Linux distribution browser security updates..
