Descriptions

The Autofill implementation in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63 mishandles the interaction between field updates and JavaScript code that triggers a frame deletion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1701.

La implementación de Autofill en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 51.0.2704.63 no maneja correctamente la interacción entre campos actualizados y código JavaScript que desencadena un borrado del marco, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación del servicio (uso después de liberación de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una página web manipulada, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-1701.

Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit. This update upgrades Chromium to version 51.0.2704.63. Security Fix: Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the victim.
