platform/fonts/shaping/HarfBuzzShaper.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65, does not initialize a certain width field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Unicode text.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Chrome/Blink text-rendering flaw. A malicious page or document containing crafted Unicode text could crash the browser and possibly cause other unspecified effects. The public bundle identifies the fixed Chrome line as 43.0.2357.65 and does not show confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 or downstream Chromium packages referenced by Debian, Gentoo, and openSUSE advisories. Modern managed browser fleets are unlikely exposed unless old builds remain in images, kiosks, lab systems, or unsupported endpoints. Prioritize cleanup if old browser builds still exist, especially on systems that browse untrusted content. This is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but browser-exposed denial of service risk is operationally relevant for unmanaged legacy assets. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome to 43.0.2357.65 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant Debian, Gentoo, or openSUSE Chromium security updates.; Remove unsupported legacy Chrome or Chromium builds from managed endpoints..
