Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-01-25 11:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:42
Severity
7.6 (High) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
Summary
The LoadIC::UpdateCaches function in ic/ic.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not ensure receiver compatibility before performing a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
