CVE-2016-1663: The SerializedScriptValue::transferArrayBuffers function in WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/SerializedScript...

The SerializedScriptValue::transferArrayBuffers function in WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/SerializedScriptValue.cpp in the V8 bindings in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, mishandles certain array-buffer data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1663 is an old Google Chrome/Blink browser vulnerability fixed before Chrome 50.0.2661.94. A malicious website could trigger memory misuse and crash the browser, with possible unspecified additional impact. The main business risk is legacy or unmanaged browsers still in use. Exposure is most likely on systems running Google Chrome or packaged Chromium builds older than 50.0.2661.94, including older Linux distribution packages referenced by vendor advisories. Modern managed browsers should not be exposed if patching has been maintained. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless old browser versions are still present. It is remotely reachable through web browsing, but the supplied evidence does not support active exploitation or confirmed code execution. Mitigation focus: Update Chrome to 50.0.2661.94 or later.; Apply vendor Chromium updates for affected Linux distributions.; Remove or isolate unsupported legacy browser installations..
