Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

extensions/renderer/render_frame_observer_natives.cc in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75 does not properly consider object lifetimes and re-entrancy issues during OnDocumentElementCreated handling, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
