Descriptions

The regexp (aka regular expression) implementation in Google V8 before 5.0.71.40, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, mishandles external string sizes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted JavaScript code.

La implementación de regexp (también conocida como regular expression) en Google V8 en versiones anteriores a 5.0.71.40, como es usada en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 51.0.2704.63, no maneja correctamente los tamaños de cadena externos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación del servicio (lectura fuera de límites) a través de un código JavaScript manipulado.
