If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1692)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-1695, CVE-2016-1703)

It was discovered that Blink does not prevent frame navigation during DocumentLoader detach operations. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1697)

A parameter sanitization bug was discovered in the devtools subsystem in Blink. An attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2016-1699)

An out-of-bounds read was discovered in Skia. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2016-1702).
