NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream oxide-qt package and not the oxide-qt package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
