The specific version of Chrome that the system is running is reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in PPAPI that is triggered when handling certain messages not sent by the browser in the plugin broker process. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the sandbox. (CVE-2016-1706)

- Google Chrome for iOS contains a flaw in web/web_state/ui/crw_web_controller.mm that is triggered when handling invalid URLs. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to conduct URL spoofing attacks. (CVE-2016-1707)

- Google Chrome contains a use-after-free error related to extensions that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-1708)

- Google sfntly contains an array indexing error in the ByteArray::Get() function in data/byte_array.cc that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing a process linked against the library or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1709)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in web/ChromeClientImpl.cpp that is triggered when handling creation of new windows by deferred frames. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1710)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in core/loader/FrameLoader.cpp that is triggered when handling frame navigations during DocumentLoader detach. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1711)

- Google Chrome contains a use-after-free error in the previousLinePosition() function in core/editing/VisibleUnits.cpp. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5127)

- Google V8 contains an unspecified flaw which may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-5128)

- Google V8 contains a flaw that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service in a process linked against the library or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5129)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in the HistoryController::UpdateForCommit() function in content/renderer/history_controller.cc. The issue is triggered when handling two forward navigations that compete in different frames. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to perform URL spoofing attacks. (CVE-2016-5130)

- Libxml2 contains a use-after-free error in the xmlXPtrRangeToFunction() function in xpointer.c. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5131)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw related to Service Workers that is triggered when handling subframes of an insecure context. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to perform a limited bypass of the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5132)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw related to proxy authentication that is triggere when handling origins. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to spoof the proxy server origin. (CVE-2016-5133)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw that is triggered as https:// URLs are not properly sanitized before being sent to PAC scripts. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to leak URLs. (CVE-2016-5134)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in html/parser/HTMLPreloadScanner.cpp related to the handling of referrer policies. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass the content security policy (CSP). (CVE-2016-5135)

- Google Chrome contains a use-after-free error in extensions/renderer/user_script_injector.cc that is triggered when handling UserScript pointers. This may allow a malicious extension to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5136)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in the CSPSource::portMatches() function in frame/csp/CSPSource.cpp related to HSTS and CSP when handling HTTP vs HTTPS ports in source expressions. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose browsing history information. (CVE-2016-5137)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in the LayoutBox::removeFloatingOrPositionedChildFromBlockLists() function in core/layout/LayoutBox.cpp that is triggered when handling LayoutView floats. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1705)

- Google Chrome contains a flaw in the Resource::canUseCacheValidator() function in core/fetch/Resource.cpp that is triggered when revalidating Resource with redirects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-1705)
