CVE-2014-3198  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:15.04 chromium-browser to version 38.0.2125.111-0ubuntu1.1103 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 Instance::HandleInputEvent function in pdf/instance.cc in the PDFium component in Google Chrome before 38.0.2125.101 interprets a certain -1 value as an index instead of a no-visible-page error code, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.
