CVE-2014-7941  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade chromium to version 40.0.2214.91 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The SelectionOwner::ProcessTarget function in ui/base/x/selection_owner.cc in the UI implementation in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 uses an incorrect data type for a certain length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted X11 data.
