CVE-2016-1698  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 51.0.2704.79-1~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 createCustomType function in extensions/renderer/resources/binding.js in the extension bindings in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.79 does not validate module types, which might allow attackers to load arbitrary modules or obtain sensitive information by leveraging a poisoned definition.
