A use-after-free was discovered in the navigation implementation in
Chromium in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a

to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the sandboxed renderer process.
(CVE-2016-1655)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial
of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2016-1659)

Multiple security issues were discovered in V8. If a user were tricked
in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
