The SkRegion::readFromMemory function in core/SkRegion.cpp in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.79, does not validate the interval count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted serialized data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in Skia graphics code used by Chrome could let a malicious page or file crash the browser by feeding crafted serialized region data. Sources describe denial of service, not code execution or data theft. Chrome fixed it before version 51.0.2704.79, and Linux vendors issued related browser updates. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running Google Chrome older than 51.0.2704.79 or distribution-packaged Chromium/Chrome builds covered by the 2016 vendor advisories. Current managed browser fleets are unlikely to remain exposed unless unsupported images or archived appliances are still in use. Treat this as a legacy browser hygiene issue unless old Chrome or Chromium packages remain in production. Business impact is browser crash or service disruption, not proven compromise. Prioritize remediation where unsupported endpoints, kiosks, or embedded browser environments still exist. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium packages to versions newer than the vendor-fixed 2016 releases.; Check Google Chrome Stable Channel guidance for version 51.0.2704.79 or later.; Apply relevant Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, or SUSE browser security updates where applicable..
