Descriptions

The LoadIC::UpdateCaches function in ic/ic.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not ensure receiver compatibility before performing a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

La función LoadIC::UpdateCaches en ic/ic.cc en Google V8, tal como se utiliza en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 48.0.2564.82, no asegura la compatibilidad del receptor antes de realizar una proyección de una variable no especificada, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de código JavaScript manipulado.
