Blink in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux; 54.0.2840.85 for Android had insufficient validation in bitmap handling, which allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted HTML pages.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome browser flaw in Blink bitmap handling. A user visiting a crafted HTML page with a vulnerable Chrome version could potentially trigger heap corruption. The practical concern is legacy or unmanaged systems still running Chrome before the fixed 2016 releases. Likely exposure is limited to outdated Chrome or Chromium-derived packages from 2016-era systems, unmanaged endpoints, Android devices, or Linux distributions carrying vulnerable browser builds. Prioritize remediation if any legacy browsers remain in production or trusted user environments. Modern updated Chrome deployments should not require emergency action for this 2016 issue, but unmanaged browser drift is the main business risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome beyond the fixed desktop and Android versions named in the advisory.; Apply relevant OS vendor browser updates from Red Hat, Gentoo, or your distribution.; Retire unsupported systems that cannot run a patched Chrome or Chromium build..
