Google Chrome 'view-source' Address Bar URI Spoofing Vulnerability

Google Chrome 'view-source' Address Bar URI Spoofing Vulnerability

Google Chrome is affected by a URI-spoofing vulnerability.

An attacker may leverage this issue to spoof a URI presented to an unsuspecting user. This may lead to a false sense of trust because the victim may be presented with a URI of a seemingly trusted site while interacting with the attacker's malicious site.

Versions prior to Chrome 16.0.912.63 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 51041 (Google Chrome Prior to 16.0.912.63 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
