CVE-2016-1678 medium priority: Ubuntu including 4 source packages (chromium-browser, libv8, libv8-3.14, oxide-qt), 40 status rows across 10 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, precise, trusty, upstream, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 15, DNE 13, ignored 10, needed 1, needs-triage 1.
objects.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.32, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, does not properly restrict lazy deoptimization, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
