CVE-2015-1224 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.82% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
