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.

base/memory/shared_memory_win.cc in Google Chrome before 38.0.2125.101 on Windows does not properly implement read-only restrictions on shared memory, which allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.
