Descriptions

Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, does not ensure that a proper cryptographicallyRandomValues random number generator is used, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

Blink, tal como se utiliza en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 48.0.2564.82, no asegura que se utilice un generador de números aleatorios cryptographicallyRandomValues adecuado, lo que hace más fácil para atacantes remotos vencer mecanismos de protección de cifrado a través de vectores no especificados.
