Descriptions

The WebContentsImpl::FocusLocationBarByDefault function in content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75 mishandles focus for certain about:blank pages, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via a crafted URL.

La función WebContentsImpl::FocusLocationBarByDefault en content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_impl.cc en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 50.0.2661.75 no maneja correctamente el foco para ciertas páginas about:blank, lo que permite a atacantes remotos suplantar la barra de direcciones a través de una URL manipulada.
