Descriptions
Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 does not properly consider that frame removal may occur during callback execution, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted extension.
Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 50.0.2661.75 no considera correctamente que la eliminación de tramas pueda ocurrir durante la ejecución de una llamada de retorno, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una extensión manipulada.
A use-after-free was discovered when responding synchronously to permission requests. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. An out-of-bounds read was discovered in V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash. Various other issues were also addressed.
