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.

Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 does not properly consider that frame removal may occur during callback execution, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted extension.
