Type    : information leakage
Remote  : Yes
Link    : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CVE

Summary
======
The package chromium before version 46.0.2490.86-1 is vulnerable to
information leakage and cross-origin restriction bypass.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 46.0.2490.86-1.

# pacman -Syu "chromium>=46.0.2490.86-1"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 46.0.2490.86.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
The PDF viewer does not properly restrict scripting messages and API
exposure, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy
via an unintended embedder or unintended plugin loading, related to
pdf.js and out_of_process_instance.cc.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker is able to bypass the cross-origin restriction via an
unintended embedder or unintended plugin loading, related to pdf.js and
out_of_process_instance.cc allowing unauthorized disclosure of information.
