CVE-2016-2844: Google Chrome

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

WebKit/Source/core/layout/LayoutBlock.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75, does not properly determine when anonymous block wrappers may exist, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect cast and assertion failure) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: up to and including 48.0.2564.116
