The RenderTable::simplifiedNormalFlowLayout function in core/rendering/RenderTable.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, skips captions during table layout in certain situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors related to the Fonts implementation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome/Blink browser flaw that could let a malicious web page crash the browser through a table layout bug. The public record describes denial of service, not data theft or system takeover. It matters mainly where very old Chrome or distro Chromium packages remain in use. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 and vendor-packaged Chromium builds covered by the cited Ubuntu, Gentoo, openSUSE, and Red Hat advisories. Current managed browsers should not be affected if patching has been maintained. Treat as a hygiene issue unless legacy browser exposure is present. Prioritize remediation on kiosks, lab systems, old virtual desktops, or unmanaged Linux endpoints that may still run affected Chromium builds. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Google Chrome to 40.0.2214.91 or later.; Apply fixed Chromium packages from relevant Linux vendor advisories.; Remove unsupported legacy browsers from internet-facing browsing workflows..
