CVE-2013-6656  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade chromium to version 33.0.1750.154 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The XSSAuditor::init function in core/html/parser/XSSAuditor.cpp in the XSS auditor in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 33.0.1750.117, processes POST requests by using the body of a redirecting page instead of the body of a redirect target, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
