Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 55.0.2883.75 for Mac, Windows and Linux Google Chrome version prior to 55.0.2883.84 for Android

Description The issue is related to bad casting in bitmap manipulation in the Blink component of Google Chrome, which can lead to heap corruption. A remote attacker can potentially exploit this issue by using a specially crafted HTML page. This could allow the attacker to access protected information.

For Google Chrome version prior to 55.0.2883.84 for Android, update to version 55.0.2883.84 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to potentially vulnerable HTML pages until the issue is resolved.
