Security Advisory Description

The Zone::New function in zone.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.47, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not properly determine when to expand certain memory allocations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code. (CVE-2016-1669)
Impact
An attacker who can manipulate a large zone could cause the application to stop responding, or potentially run arbitrary code with the application privileges.
