The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.79 does not properly restrict bindings access, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via unspecified vectors.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is prior to 51.0.2704.79, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A cross-origin bypass issue exists in Extension bindings.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1696)
 - A cross-origin bypass issue exists in Blink.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1697)
 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Extension bindings.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1698)
 - A flaw exists in DevTools due to a failure to sanitize a parameter.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1699)
