Descriptions

Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 does not ensure that the recipient of a certain IPC message is a valid RenderFrame or RenderWidget, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging access to a renderer process, related to render_frame_host_impl.cc and render_widget_host_impl.cc, as demonstrated by a Password Manager message.

Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 53.0.2785.113 no asegura que el destinatario de cierto mensaje IPC es un RenderFrame o RenderWidget válido, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero no válido y caída de aplicación) o tener otro posible impacto no especificado aprovechando el acceso a un proceso de renderización, relacionado con render_frame_host_impl.cc y render_widget_host_impl.cc, como se demuestra por un mensaje Password Manager.
