Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X Google Chrome versions prior to 53.0.2785.92 on Linux Opera (affected versions not specified)

For Google Chrome versions prior to 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, update to version 53.0.2785.92 or later.
