How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 chromium-browser to version 48.0.2564.82-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1108 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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not ensure that a proper cryptographicallyRandomValues random number generator is used, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.
