CVE-2015-3336: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 does not always ask the user before proceeding with CONTENT_SETTINGS_TYPE_FULLSCREEN and CONTENT_SETTINGS_TYPE_MOUSELOCK changes, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (UI disruption) by constructing a crafted HTML document containing JavaScript code with requestFullScreen and requestPointerLock calls, and arranging for the user to access this document with a file: URL.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only
• Google Chrome: up to and including 42.0.2311.60
• Opensuse Opensuse: version 13.1 only; version 13.2 only
