CVE-2016-5151
HighSummary
PDFium in Google Chrome before version 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before version 53.0.2785.92 on Linux mishandles timers, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may lead to denial of service, affecting application availability and potentially allowing attackers to gain control over the system through malicious PDF documents.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Google Chrome to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for suspicious PDF documents.
