Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google V8 versions prior to 5.0.71.47 Google Chrome versions prior to 50.0.2661.102

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the Zone::New function in zone.cc, which can be exploited by remote attackers using specially crafted JavaScript code. This can lead to a denial of service or possibly other unspecified impacts.
