CVE-2015-1226  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:15.04 chromium-browser to version 41.0.2272.76-0ubuntu1.1134 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:15.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DebuggerFunction::InitAgentHost function in browser/extensions/api/debugger/debugger_api.cc in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 does not properly restrict what URLs are available as debugger targets, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted extension.
