CVE-2016-1643 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (chromium-browser, oxide-qt), 8 status rows across 4 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily): released 6, DNE 1, ignored 1.

Description:

The ImageInputType::ensurePrimaryContent function in WebKit/Source/core/html/forms/ImageInputType.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.87, does not properly maintain the user agent shadow DOM, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion."
