Impact

browser/renderer_host/database_dispatcher_host.cc in Google Chrome before 5.0.375.70 on Linux does not properly handle ViewHostMsg_DatabaseOpenFile messages in chroot-based sandboxing, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended sandbox restrictions via vectors involving fchdir and chdir calls.
