CVE-2015-6782  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 chromium-browser to version 0:47.0.2526.73-1.el6 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2015:2545.

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 Document::open function in WebKit/Source/core/dom/Document.cpp in Google Chrome before 47.0.2526.73 does not ensure that page-dismissal event handling is compatible with modal-dialog blocking, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof Omnibox content via a crafted web site.
