Use-after-free vulnerability in the OnWindowRemovingFromRootWindow function in content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_view_aura.cc in Google Chrome before 32.0.1700.76 on Windows and before 32.0.1700.77 on Mac OS X and Linux allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving certain print-preview and tab-switch actions that interact with a speech input element.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
