Descriptions

Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 does not ensure that the auto-open list omits all dangerous file types, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted file and leveraging a user's previous "Always open files of this type" choice, related to download_commands.cc and download_prefs.cc.

Vulnerabilidad en versiones anteriores a la 44.0.2403.89 de Google Chrome, no asegura que la lista de auto-apertura, omita todos los tipos de archivos peligrosos. Lo cual permite que sea más fácil para atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario al proporcionar un archivo manipulado y aprovechar la elección 'siempre abrir archivos de este tipo ' de un usuario, error relacionado con download_commands.cc y download_prefs.cc.

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 44.0.2403.89, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
