Use-after-free vulnerability in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging incorrect ordering of operations in the Web SQL Database thread relative to Blink's main thread, related to the shutdown function in web/WebKit.cpp.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-1221 is an old browser memory-safety flaw in Blink used by Google Chrome. A malicious web page could crash the browser and might have had other unspecified impact. The record identifies affected Chrome versions before 41.0.2272.76. No provided source shows active exploitation. Exposure is mainly legacy systems running Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, or distribution-packaged browser builds covered by the cited 2015 Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Red Hat advisories. Modern exposure cannot be confirmed from the bundle alone. Treat as low operational urgency unless legacy browsers remain in use. The business risk is concentrated in obsolete unmanaged endpoints, kiosks, or embedded systems that may still run 2015-era browser builds. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Google Chrome to 41.0.2272.76 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant Ubuntu, Gentoo, or Red Hat browser security updates.; Remove unsupported legacy Chrome or Blink-based browser builds from managed endpoints..
