CVE-2015-1285 - Accented Markhor

Description

The XSSAuditor::canonicalize function in core/html/parser/XSSAuditor.cpp in the XSS auditor in Blink as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 does not properly choose a truncation point which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an unspecified linear-time attack.
