extensions/common/url_pattern.cc in Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.94 does not prevent use of a '\0' character in a host name, which allows remote attackers to spoof the extension permission dialog by relying on truncation after this character.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Chrome issue could let an attacker make an extension permission prompt appear to reference a safer or different host than it really did. The business concern is user deception during extension installation or approval, not direct server compromise. The provided sources show it was fixed in Chrome 37.0.2062.94-era updates. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Chrome or Chromium-derived packages older than the fixed 37.0.2062.94 release or unpatched 2014 distribution packages. Current managed browsers should not be exposed if update controls are working. Treat as a legacy-browser hygiene issue unless old Chrome or Chromium builds remain in use. Prioritize normal patch compliance and extension governance over emergency response because no active exploitation evidence is provided. Mitigation focus: Update Chrome or Chromium to 37.0.2062.94 or later.; Apply relevant Debian, Gentoo, or openSUSE browser security updates where applicable.; Block unmanaged browser extension installation on enterprise endpoints..
