CVE-2016-1646 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 chromium-browser to version 49.0.2623.108-0ubuntu1.1233 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 Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The Array.prototype.concat implementation in builtins.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.108, does not properly consider element data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
