CVE-2016-5170

HIGH

Google Chrome < 53.0.2785.101 - Use-After-Free via IndexedDB API

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

WebKit/Source/bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113, does not properly consider getter side effects during array key conversion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Indexed Database (aka IndexedDB) API calls.
