CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade chromium to version 40.0.2214.109 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. 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.
