CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 13.0.782.107~r94237-1 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 Basic Authentication dialog implementation in Google Chrome before 13.0.782.107 does not properly handle strings, which might make it easier for remote attackers to capture credentials via a crafted web site.
