CVE-2014-3172  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 chromium-browser to version 37.0.2062.94-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg909 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Debugger extension API in browser/extensions/api/debugger/debugger_api.cc in Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.94 does not validate a tab's URL before an attach operation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access limitations via an extension that uses a restricted URL, as demonstrated by a chrome:// URL.
