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.

content/renderer/device_sensors/device_motion_event_pump.cc in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 does not properly restrict access to high-rate accelerometer data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to capture keystrokes via a crafted web site that listens for ondevicemotion events, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1231.
