CVE-2015-6772  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 47.0.2526.73-1~deb8u1 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 47.0.2526.73, does not prevent javascript: URL navigation while a document is being detached, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via crafted JavaScript code that improperly interacts with a plugin.
