The DragImage::create function in platform/DragImage.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, does not initialize memory for image drawing, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact by triggering a failed image decoding, as demonstrated by an image for which the default orientation cannot be used.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-1227 is an old Google Chrome/Blink memory-initialization flaw fixed before Chrome 41.0.2272.76. A malicious web page or content could trigger failed image decoding and cause unspecified impact. Business risk is mainly legacy browser or embedded Chromium exposure, not modern patched Chrome. Exposure is most likely where Chrome or Chromium-derived software remains older than 41.0.2272.76. Standard managed desktop fleets should be unaffected if browsers are current. Embedded Chromium runtimes require separate verification because their patch level may differ from installed Chrome. Low immediate urgency for current managed browsers, higher for legacy kiosks, old Linux images, or embedded Chromium products. Prioritize confirmation over emergency response because the vulnerability is old, patched, and has no KEV signal in the supplied evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium-derived builds beyond 41.0.2272.76.; Check Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Red Hat advisories for package-specific update guidance.; Retire unsupported browsers and legacy embedded Chromium runtimes..
