A use after free in Chrome Apps in Google Chrome prior to 59.0.3071.86 for Windows allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page, related to Bluetooth.

Weakness

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
