CVE-2016-5143 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 52.0.2743.116-1~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 Developer Tools (aka DevTools) subsystem in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, mishandles the script-path hostname, remoteBase parameter, and remoteFrontendUrl parameter, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted URL, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-5144.
