CVE-2014-3159  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade chromium to version 36.0.1985.143 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The WebContentsDelegateAndroid::OpenURLFromTab function in components/web_contents_delegate_android/web_contents_delegate_android.cc in Google Chrome before 36.0.1985.122 on Android does not properly restrict URL loading, which allows remote attackers to spoof the URL in the Omnibox via unspecified vectors.
