Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.64 on Mac OS X does not properly validate an integer value during the handling of GPU command buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome for Mac OS X flaw. A remote attacker could trigger a browser crash, and the record leaves open an unspecified additional impact. The issue only matters where Chrome versions before 23.0.1271.64 remain in use. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Mac OS X systems running Chrome earlier than 23.0.1271.64. Modern managed browsers should not be affected if they are patched and supported. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless old Mac systems still exist. Prioritize remediation where unsupported browsers remain on business endpoints, because the record confirms remote denial-of-service potential but lacks current exploitation evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome on Mac OS X to 23.0.1271.64 or later.; Remove or isolate unsupported legacy Chrome installations.; Confirm browser auto-update is enabled and functioning..
