Descriptions

PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 47.0.2526.73, does not properly restrict use of chrome: URLs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended scheme restrictions via a crafted PDF document, as demonstrated by a document with a link to a chrome://settings URL.

PDFium, como se utiliza en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 47.0.2526.73, no restringe adecuadamente el uso de chrome: URLs, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones de esquema previstas a través de un documento PDF manipulado, según lo demostrado mediante un documento con un enlace a una URL chrome://settings.
