Description
The issue is related to the SkRegion::readFromMemory function in Skia, which does not validate the interval count. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted serialized data. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
Recommendations
For Google Chrome versions prior to 51.0.2704.79, update to version 51.0.2704.79 or later.
For Skia, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
SkRegion::readFromMemory function until a patch is available.DoS
