Chrome before 43 can crash or be misused via getUserMedia

The WebRTC part of Google Chrome versions earlier than 43 can be tricked by specially crafted web code to stop working or behave unexpectedly when a web page asks for camera or microphone access. This could affect users on Debian Linux who run the affected Chrome versions. Updating Chrome to the latest release removes the risk.
