CVE-2015-1274: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 3.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 does not ensure that the auto-open list omits all dangerous file types, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted file and leveraging a user's previous "Always open files of this type" choice, related to download_commands.cc and download_prefs.cc.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only
• Google Chrome: up to and including 43.0.2357.134
• Opensuse Opensuse: version 13.1 only; version 13.2 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary: version 6.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary: version 6.0 only; version 6.7.z only
