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.

Google Chrome before 8.0.552.215 does not properly restrict privileged extensions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted extension.
