The Autofill implementation in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.79 mishandles the interaction between field updates and JavaScript code that triggers a frame deletion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1690.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome Autofill memory-safety flaw. A malicious website could crash vulnerable browsers and may have had other unspecified impact. The public bundle identifies the fixed Chrome version as 51.0.2704.79, but does not provide CVSS scoring or confirmed exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Chrome or Chromium-derived packages older than 51.0.2704.79, including systems that missed 2016 browser or distribution security updates. Treat as a legacy hygiene issue unless obsolete browsers remain in production. Prioritize remediation where old Chrome or Chromium builds handle untrusted web content. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium to 51.0.2704.79 or later.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from Debian, Red Hat, or SUSE.; Retire unsupported legacy browsers from managed endpoints..
