CVE-2016-5149: Google Chrome

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux relies on an IFRAME source URL to identify an associated extension, which allows remote attackers to conduct extension-bindings injection attacks by leveraging script access to a resource that initially has the about:blank URL.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: up to and including 52.0.2743.116
• Opensuse Leap: version 42.1 only
