How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 chromium-browser to version 0:50.0.2661.75-1.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 does not properly consider that frame removal may occur during callback execution, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted extension.
