Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Data Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5153)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The Web Animations implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, improperly relies on list iteration, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-destruction) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
