CVE-2016-1640 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (chromium-browser, oxide-qt), 8 status rows across 4 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily): released 3, DNE 2, not-affected 2, ignored 1.

Description:

The Web Store inline-installer implementation in the Extensions UI in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75 does not block installations upon deletion of an installation frame, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into believing that an installation request originated from the user's next navigation target via a crafted web site.
