CVE-2016-5198 medium priority: Ubuntu including 4 source packages (chromium-browser, libv8, libv8-3.14, oxide-qt), 36 status rows across 9 suites (artful, bionic, cosmic, precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 13, DNE 12, ignored 8, needed 1, needs-triage 1, pending 1.
V8 in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.90 for Linux, and 54.0.2840.85 for Android, and 54.0.2840.87 for Windows and Mac included incorrect optimisation assumptions, which allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write operations, leading to code execution, via a crafted HTML page.
