CVE-2016-5153 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 53.0.2785.89-1~deb8u1 or higher.
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.
The Web Animations implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, improperly relies on list iteration, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-destruction) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.
