CVE-2016-7549
HighSummary
Google Chrome before version 53.0.2785.113 does not ensure that the recipient of a certain IPC message is a valid RenderFrame or RenderWidget. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
Risk Assessment
Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to destabilize the browser, leading to service interruptions or loss of user data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Google Chrome to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and ensure user safety.

Original NVD description (English source)
Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 does not ensure that the recipient of a certain IPC message is a valid RenderFrame or RenderWidget, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging access to a renderer process, related to render_frame_host_impl.cc and render_widget_host_impl.cc, as demonstrated by a Password Manager message.
