CVE-2015-1291
Description
A flaw was found in chromium-browser. A remote attacker could bypass security boundaries to access sensitive information by exploiting an issue in the Document Object Model (DOM) implementation, the interface that represents and manages web page content. By convincing a user to visit a specially crafted web page, the attacker can circumvent the Same-Origin Policy (SOP), which normally isolates data between different websites. Successful exploitation could allow unauthorized access to sensitive cross-origin data.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
