Descriptions

The UnescapeURLWithAdjustmentsImpl implementation in net/base/escape.cc in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85 does not prevent display of Unicode LOCK characters in the omnibox, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof the SSL lock icon by placing one of these characters at the end of a URL, as demonstrated by the omnibox in localizations for right-to-left languages.

Vulnerabilidad en la implementación UnescapeURLWithAdjustmentsImpl en net/base/escape.cc en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 45.0.2454.85, no impide que se visualicen caracteres Unicode LOCK en el omnibox, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos suplantar el icono de bloqueo SSL poniendo uno de estos caracteres al final de una URL, según lo demostrado por el omnibox en localizaciones para los lenguajes de derecha a izquierda.
