Descriptions

The extensions API in Google Chrome prior to 55.0.2883.75 for Mac, Windows and Linux, and 55.0.2883.84 for Android incorrectly handled navigation within PDFs, which allowed a remote attacker to temporarily spoof the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted HTML page containing PDF data.

La API de extensiones en Google Chrome anterior a 55.0.2883.75 para Mac, Windows y Linux y 55.0.2883.84 para Android maneja incorrectamente la navegación en PDFs, lo que permitió a un atacante remoto suplantar temporalmente los contenidos de la Omnibox (barra de URL) a través de una página HTML manipulada que contiene datos PDF.
