uri.js in Google V8 before 5.1.281.26, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, uses an incorrect array type, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by calling the decodeURI function and leveraging "type confusion."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1677 is an older Google V8/Chrome flaw where malformed URI decoding could expose sensitive information through type confusion. The provided record names Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63 and V8 before 5.1.281.26. Business urgency is mainly for legacy systems still running obsolete Chrome, Chromium, or bundled V8 builds. Exposure is most likely on unmanaged, legacy, kiosk, lab, or embedded systems running Chrome/Chromium-era packages from before late May 2016, or software carrying the affected V8 version. Modern fully patched browsers are unlikely to be exposed based on the supplied fixed-version information. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not supported by supplied evidence of active exploitation, but any remaining affected browser runtime is many years out of date and likely carries broader security risk beyond this CVE. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Google Chrome to 51.0.2704.63 or later.; Upgrade V8 to 5.1.281.26 or later where independently packaged.; Apply relevant Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, openSUSE, or Gentoo browser advisories..
