CVE-2016-1702: Buffer Overflow
First published: Thu Jun 02 2016(Updated: )
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.
