It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities exist that allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1705) - A sandbox protection bypass vulnerability exists in PPAPI due to a failure to validate the origin of IPC messages to the plugin broker process. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the sandbox. (CVE-2016-1706) - A use-after-free error exists in Extensions due to a failure to consider object lifetimes during progress observation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1708) - An array indexing error exists in the ByteArray::Get() function in data/byte_array.cc due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1709) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to prevent window creation by a deferred frame. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1710) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to disable frame navigation during a detach operation on a DocumentLoader object. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1711) - A use-after-free error exists in Blink in the previousLinePosition() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted JavaScript code involving an @import at-rule in a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequence in conjunction with a rel=import attribute of a LINK element, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5127) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Google V8 due to a failure to prevent API interceptors from modifying a store target without setting a property. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5128) - A flaw exists in V8 due to improper processing of left-trimmed objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted JavaScript code, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5129) - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling two forward navigations that compete in different frames. A remote attacker can exploit this to conduct a URL spoofing attack. (CVE-2016-5130) - A use-after-free error exists in libxml2 in the xmlXPtrRangeToFunction() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5131) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in the Service Workers subsystem due to a failure to properly implement the Secure Contexts specification during decisions about whether to control a subframe. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5132) - A flaw exists in the handling of origin information during proxy authentication that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof a proxy-authentication login prompt or trigger incorrect credential storage by modifying the client-server data stream. (CVE-2016-5133) - A validation flaw exists in the Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) feature due to a failure to ensure that URL information is restricted to a scheme, host, and port. A remote attacker can exploit this to disclose credentials by operating a server with a PAC script. (CVE-2016-5134) - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to consider referrer-policy information inside an HTML document during a preload request. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-5135) - A use-after-free error exists in Extensions that allows a remote attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5136) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Blink when handling HTTP vs HTTPs ports in source expressions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to determine whether a specific HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) web site has been visited by reading a CSP report.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities exist that allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1705) - A sandbox protection bypass vulnerability exists in PPAPI due to a failure to validate the origin of IPC messages to the plugin broker process. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the sandbox. (CVE-2016-1706) - A use-after-free error exists in Extensions due to a failure to consider object lifetimes during progress observation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1708) - An array indexing error exists in the ByteArray::Get() function in data/byte_array.cc due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1709) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to prevent window creation by a deferred frame. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1710) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to disable frame navigation during a detach operation on a DocumentLoader object. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1711) - A use-after-free error exists in Blink in the previousLinePosition() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted JavaScript code involving an @import at-rule in a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequence in conjunction with a rel=import attribute of a LINK element, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5127) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Google V8 due to a failure to prevent API interceptors from modifying a store target without setting a property. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5128) - A flaw exists in V8 due to improper processing of left-trimmed objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted JavaScript code, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5129) - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling two forward navigations that compete in different frames. A remote attacker can exploit this to conduct a URL spoofing attack. (CVE-2016-5130) - A use-after-free error exists in libxml2 in the xmlXPtrRangeToFunction() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5131) - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in the Service Workers subsystem due to a failure to properly implement the Secure Contexts specification during decisions about whether to control a subframe. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5132) - A flaw exists in the handling of origin information during proxy authentication that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof a proxy-authentication login prompt or trigger incorrect credential storage by modifying the client-server data stream. (CVE-2016-5133) - A validation flaw exists in the Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) feature due to a failure to ensure that URL information is restricted to a scheme, host, and port. A remote attacker can exploit this to disclose credentials by operating a server with a PAC script. (CVE-2016-5134) - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due to a failure to consider referrer-policy information inside an HTML document during a preload request. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-5135) - A use-after-free error exists in Extensions that allows a remote attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5136) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Blink when handling HTTP vs HTTPs ports in source expressions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to determine whether a specific HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) web site has been visited by reading a CSP report.
