Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android

Description The issue is related to the incorrect handling of Unicode glyphs, which allows a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing via IDN homographs in a crafted domain name. This can be exploited by an attacker to deceive users into visiting a malicious website that appears to be a legitimate one. The vulnerability is associated with the improper processing of Unicode characters, enabling the creation of fake domain names that resemble genuine ones.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, update to version 56.0.2924.76 or later for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 or later for Android to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability for Opera.
