Denial of service vulnerability in Google Chrome via unspecified vectors - CVE-2016-7549 (dpkg)ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:37402 | Date: (C)2016-09-27 (M)2023-12-20 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
The host is installed with Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 and is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to ensure that the recipient of a certain IPC message is a valid RenderFrame or RenderWidget. Successful exploitation allows attackers to cause denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging access to a renderer process.
