The VpxVideoDecoder::VpxDecode function in media/filters/vpx_video_decoder.cc in the vpxdecoder implementation in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 does not ensure that alpha-plane dimensions are identical to image dimensions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted VPx video data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-1224 is an old Google Chrome media-decoding flaw. A malicious VPx video could make Chrome read outside expected memory while handling alpha-plane dimensions, causing a browser crash or denial of service. The provided sources do not indicate code execution or active exploitation. Exposure is mainly legacy Chrome or Chromium-derived packages older than 41.0.2272.76, including systems still relying on old Linux distribution browser packages referenced by Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Red Hat advisories. Treat this as a cleanup priority for obsolete browser exposure, not an emergency based on the provided evidence. The business risk is service disruption from malicious media on unsupported clients. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium packages beyond 41.0.2272.76.; Review Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Red Hat advisories for distribution-specific package updates.; Retire unsupported browser versions from managed endpoints..
