extensions/renderer/event_bindings.cc in the event bindings in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux attempts to process filtered events after failure to add an event matcher, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
