Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is prior to 51.0.2704.103, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists in the 'individualCharacterRanges()' function in 'CachingWordShaper.cpp' that is triggered when handling invalid glyph shaping results. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of code.
