CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 chromium-browser to version 0:38.0.2125.101-2.el6_6 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:1626.

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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Instance::HandleInputEvent function in pdf/instance.cc in the PDFium component in Google Chrome before 38.0.2125.101 interprets a certain -1 value as an index instead of a no-visible-page error code, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.
