CVE-2010-0659  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 chromium-browser to version 5.0.375.29~r46008-1 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 image decoder in WebKit before r52833, as used in Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78, does not properly handle a failure of memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the Chrome sandbox via a malformed GIF file that specifies a large size.
