CVE-2013-6646: Use-after-free vulnerability in the Web Workers implementation in Google Chrome before 32.0.1700.76 on Wind...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome memory-safety flaw in Web Workers. A remote attacker could crash the browser and might cause other unspecified impact when a worker process shuts down. The provided record names fixed Chrome versions from January 2014; exposure mainly means machines still running those obsolete builds or unpatched distribution packages. Likely exposure is limited to legacy Chrome or Chromium installations frozen before the fixed 2014 versions, including unmanaged kiosks, old VDI images, and obsolete Linux packages covered by Debian or openSUSE advisories. Current auto-updated Chrome deployments are unlikely to remain exposed, but this should be validated through asset inventory. Prioritize this as legacy risk cleanup rather than an emergency, unless old Chrome or Chromium builds are still in use. The business concern is browser crash risk and possible unspecified impact from remote content, with no supplied evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome beyond 32.0.1700.76 on Windows and 32.0.1700.77 on Mac or Linux.; Apply vendor Chromium updates from Debian, openSUSE, or the relevant package source.; Remove or isolate obsolete browser builds that cannot be updated..
