## Description

The getHiddenProperty function in bindings/core/v8/V8EventListenerList.h in
Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, has a name conflict
with the AudioContext class, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via JavaScript
code that adds an AudioContext event listener and triggers "type
confusion."
