Descriptions

Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 does not properly consider the interaction of page navigation with the handling of touch events and gesture events, which allows remote attackers to trigger unintended UI actions via a crafted web site that conducts a "tapjacking" attack.

Google Chrome anterior a 42.0.2311.90 no considera correctamente la interacción de la navegación de páginas con el manejo de los eventos 'táctiles' (touch) y los eventos de 'gestos' (gesture), lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar acciones no intencionadas de la interfaz del usuario a través de un sitio web manipulado que realiza un ataque de 'tapjacking'.

Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit. Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Chromium. All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 42.0.2311.90, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
