CVE-2016-5198
HighCVSS 8.8KEVSummary
V8 w Google Chrome przed wersją 54.0.2840.90 dla systemu Linux, 54.0.2840.85 dla Androida oraz 54.0.2840.87 dla systemów Windows i Mac zawierał błędne założenia dotyczące optymalizacji, co umożliwiało zdalnemu atakującemu wykonywanie dowolnych operacji odczytu/zapisu, prowadząc do wykonania kodu poprzez spreparowaną stronę HTML.
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta stwarza ryzyko zdalnego wykonania kodu, co może prowadzić do przejęcia kontroli nad systemem użytkownika oraz wycieku danych. Organizacje powinny być świadome potencjalnych zagrożeń związanych z nieaktualnymi wersjami przeglądarki.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację Google Chrome do najnowszej wersji, aby usunąć tę podatność. Dodatkowo warto monitorować i ograniczać dostęp do nieznanych lub podejrzanych stron internetowych.

Original NVD description (English source)
V8 in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.90 for Linux, and 54.0.2840.85 for Android, and 54.0.2840.87 for Windows and Mac included incorrect optimisation assumptions, which allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write operations, leading to code execution, via a crafted HTML page.
