NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

core/fxge/ge/fx_ge_text.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, miscalculates certain index values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted PDF document.
