Electron: Frame subscription trusts GPU-supplied frame geometry
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Frame data received from the GPU process for `webContents.beginFrameSubscription` was not fully validated by the main process. A compromised GPU process could cause the main process to read out-of-bounds memory while producing the captured frame images, disclosing memory or crashing the app.
Apps are only affected if they use `webContents.beginFrameSubscription` and an attacker has separately gained code execution in the GPU process. Apps that do not subscribe to captured frames are not affected.
### Workarounds
There are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron.
### Fixed Versions
* `45.0.0-alpha.9`
* `44.4.3`
* `43.7.3`
* `42.11.6`
