NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream oxide-qt package and not the oxide-qt package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Web Cryptography API (aka WebCrypto) implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, does not properly copy data buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code, related to NormalizeAlgorithm.cpp and SubtleCrypto.cpp.
