Descriptions

The SearchEngineTabHelper::OnPageHasOSDD function in browser/ui/search_engines/search_engine_tab_helper.cc in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 does not prevent use of a file: URL for an OpenSearch descriptor XML document, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from local files via a crafted (1) http or (2) https web site.

La función SearchEngineTabHelper::OnPageHasOSDD en browser/ui/search_engines/search_engine_tab_helper.cc en Google Chrome anterior a 42.0.2311.90 no previene el uso de una URL file: para un documento XML de descriptores de OpenSearch, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible de ficheros locales a través de un sitio web (1) http o (2) https manipulado.

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.
