Description

Chromium-browser-stable 50.0.2661.75 fixes security issues:

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ModuleSystem::RequireForJsInner 
function in extensions/renderer/module_system.cc in the Extensions subsystem in 
Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary 
web script or HTML via a crafted web site, aka "Universal XSS (UXSS)." 
(CVE-2016-1652)

The LoadBuffer implementation in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 
50.0.2661.75, mishandles data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a 
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted 
JavaScript code that triggers an out-of-bounds write operation, related to 
compiler/pipeline.cc and compiler/simplified-lowering.cc. (CVE-2016-1653)

fxcodec/codec/fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 
50.0.2661.75, does not properly implement the sycc420_to_rgb and sycc422_to_rgb 
functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from 
process memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted 
JPEG 2000 data in a PDF document. (CVE-2016-1651)

The media subsystem in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 does not initialize an 
unspecified data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of 
service (invalid read operation) via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1654)

Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 does not properly consider that frame removal 
may occur during callback execution, which allows remote attackers to cause a 
denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via 
a crafted extension. (CVE-2016-1655)

The WebContentsImpl::FocusLocationBarByDefault function in 
content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 
50.0.2661.75 mishandles focus for certain about:blank pages, which allows remote 
attackers to spoof the address bar via a crafted URL. (CVE-2016-1657)

The Extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 incorrectly relies 
on GetOrigin method calls for origin comparisons, which allows remote attackers 
to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted 
extension. (CVE-2016-1658)

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 allow 
attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown 
vectors. (CVE-2016-1659)
