CVE-2016-1702: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The SkRegion::readFromMemory function in core/SkRegion.cpp in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.79, does not validate the interval count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted serialized data.
