Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the formfiller implementation in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document, related to improper tracking of the destruction of (1) IPWL_FocusHandler and (2) IPWL_Provider objects.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Chrome/PDFium memory-safety flaw in PDF form handling. A malicious PDF could crash the browser and may have had other unspecified impact. The key business risk is legacy or embedded Chromium/PDFium deployments that never received the 2016 fix. Exposure is most likely in obsolete Google Chrome versions before 48.0.2564.82 or products embedding similarly old PDFium code. Modern managed browsers are unlikely exposed if they receive normal updates. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless unsupported Chromium/PDFium remains in production. Prioritize internet-facing, document-processing, kiosk, VDI, and unmanaged desktop environments where outdated browser engines can persist. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium-derived browsers beyond 48.0.2564.82.; Update any embedded PDFium dependency to include the referenced upstream fix.; Check Linux distribution advisories for patched browser or Chromium packages..
