Summary
The ObjectBackedNativeHandler class in extensions/renderer/object_backed_native_handler.cc in the extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 47.0.2526.80 improperly implements handler functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion."
