Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 43.0.2357.65

Description The issue is related to the implementation of the Spellcheck API in Google Chrome, which does not use an HTTPS session for downloading a Hunspell dictionary. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to deliver incorrect spelling suggestions or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted file. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 43.0.2357.65, update to version 43.0.2357.65 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Spellcheck API until a patch is available. Avoid using the Spellcheck API in unsecured networks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
