CWE-285  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 52.0.2743.82-1~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 ChromeClientImpl::createWindow method in WebKit/Source/web/ChromeClientImpl.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, does not prevent window creation by a deferred frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.
