How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 chromium-browser to version 33.0.1750.152-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg879.1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The GenerateFunction function in bindings/scripts/code_generator_v8.pm in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 33.0.1750.149, does not implement a certain cross-origin restriction for the EventTarget::dispatchEvent function, which allows remote attackers to conduct Universal XSS (UXSS) attacks via vectors involving events.
