WebGL Security Risks

Original release date: May 11, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Last revised: May 16, 2011 at 10:20 am


US-CERT is aware of reports indicating that WebGL contains multiple
significant security issues. The impact of these
issues includes denial of service, and cross-domain attacks. WebGL is
a new web standard that is enabled by default in Firefox 4 and Google
Chrome and is included in Safari.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Context
report and update their systems as necessary to help mitigate the
risks.
