FKIE_CVE-2016-1679
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-06-05 23:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:42
Severity
Summary
The ToV8Value function in content/child/v8_value_converter_impl.cc in the V8 bindings in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63 does not properly restrict use of getters and setters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
