What is CVE-2016-5202?

A memory corruption issue exists in Google Chrome that stems from improper handling of device IDs during an erase operation. Specifically, the browser fails to copy a device ID before executing an erase call, allowing the erase function to access and manipulate data that it subsequently erases.
