common/partial_circular_buffer.cc in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 does not properly handle wraps, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via vectors that trigger a write operation with a large amount of data, related to the PartialCircularBuffer::Write and PartialCircularBuffer::DoWrite functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-1252 is a Chrome memory handling flaw fixed in version 43.0.2357.65. A remote attacker could trigger an out-of-bounds write that may crash the browser or weaken sandbox protection. This mainly matters for legacy systems still running old Chrome or Chromium builds. Exposure is limited to systems running Google Chrome or Chromium builds before 43.0.2357.65, including older Linux distribution packages. The source bundle does not provide CPEs or a complete affected-product matrix. Treat this as a legacy-browser hygiene issue unless old Chrome or Chromium remains in production. If present, prioritize remediation because the documented impact includes sandbox bypass and browser crash from a remote attack surface. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium to 43.0.2357.65 or later.; Apply vendor browser updates from Debian, Gentoo, openSUSE, or relevant package sources.; Retire unsupported Chrome or Chromium versions from managed endpoints..
