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 Chrome Web Store inline-installation implementation in the Extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82 does not properly consider object lifetimes during progress observation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.
