CVE-2014-7946 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The RenderTable::simplifiedNormalFlowLayout function in core/rendering/RenderTable.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, skips captions during table layout in certain situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors related to the Fonts implementation.. EPSS estimates a 1.62% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
