Race condition in the ResourceDispatcherHostImpl::BeginRequest function in content/browser/loader/resource_dispatcher_host_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 allows remote attackers to make arbitrary HTTP requests by leveraging access to a renderer process and reusing a request ID.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This 2016 Chrome flaw involved a timing bug in browser request handling. A remote attacker with renderer-process access could cause arbitrary HTTP requests. The public bundle says it was fixed before Chrome 50.0.2661.102, and no source here shows active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on systems running Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 or distribution-packaged Chromium/Chrome builds covered by the listed 2016 advisories. Modern managed desktop fleets are unlikely to remain directly exposed unless legacy browsers, frozen images, appliances, or embedded Chromium components persist. Prioritize this as legacy exposure cleanup, not an emergency zero-day response. Any host still running 2016-era Chrome represents broader unmanaged endpoint risk and should be upgraded or retired promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium packages to versions newer than the fixed release.; Review the listed OS vendor advisories for package-specific update guidance.; Remove unsupported legacy browser builds from managed endpoints..
