Descriptions

extensions/renderer/gc_callback.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94 does not prevent fallback execution once the Garbage Collection callback has started, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

extensions/renderer/gc_callback.cc en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 50.0.2661.94 no previene la ejecución de retorno una vez que la llamada de retorno Garbage Collection ha comenzado, 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 vectores desconocidos.
