The LoadIC::UpdateCaches function in ic/ic.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not ensure receiver compatibility before performing a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1612 is a Google V8 bug in Chrome before 48.0.2564.82. A malicious web page could use crafted JavaScript to crash the browser, with sources leaving open possible unknown impact. It mainly matters for unsupported browsers or embedded Chromium/V8 deployments missing the 2016 security update. Exposure is likely limited to Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, downstream Chromium packages, or products embedding vulnerable V8/Chromium code from that era. Treat as a legacy-browser remediation issue unless old Chrome, Chromium, or embedded V8 is still present. Prioritize asset discovery and removal of unsupported browser runtimes over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium to a version including 48.0.2564.82 or later fixes.; Apply relevant Linux distribution browser security updates from vendor advisories.; Inventory products embedding Chromium or V8 and check vendor guidance..
