CVE-2016-1660
HighSummary
Blink, as used in Google Chrome before version 50.0.2661.94, mishandles assertions in the WTF::BitArray and WTF::double_conversion::Vector classes. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to attacks that lead to denial of service, disrupting the availability of web services. Additionally, there is a risk of unspecified impacts that could affect system security.
Recommendation
