Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, mishandles assertions in the WTF::BitArray and WTF::double_conversion::Vector classes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1660 is a browser engine flaw in Blink used by Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94. A malicious website could crash the browser through an out-of-bounds write, with sources also noting possible unspecified impact. The public bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or confirmed exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on systems running Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94 or distribution Chromium packages covered by the cited Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Red Hat, and Gentoo advisories. The source bundle does not establish broader affected products beyond Blink as used in Chrome. Prioritize normal browser patch governance unless unsupported legacy Chrome or Chromium remains in use. The issue is remotely triggerable through browsing, but the provided evidence lacks severity scoring and confirmed exploitation. Mitigation focus: Update Google Chrome to 50.0.2661.94 or later.; Apply Chromium browser updates from the relevant Linux distribution advisory.; Remove or block use of obsolete Chrome or Chromium builds..
