Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 51.0.2704.63 Opera (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue concerns the browser/safe browsing/srt field trial win.cc component in Google Chrome, which does not use the HTTPS protocol for the dl.google.com service when obtaining the Software Removal Tool. This allows remote attackers to spoof the chrome cleanup tool.exe file via a man-in-the-middle attack on an HTTP session.
