The Spellcheck API implementation in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 does not use an HTTPS session for downloading a Hunspell dictionary, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to deliver incorrect spelling suggestions or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Google Chrome builds downloaded spellcheck dictionaries without HTTPS. A network attacker in a man-in-the-middle position could tamper with dictionary content, causing bad spelling suggestions or other unspecified impact. This mainly matters where obsolete Chrome or Chromium packages still exist. Exposure is limited to Google Chrome or Chromium before 43.0.2357.65, including old Linux distribution packages referenced by Debian, Gentoo, and openSUSE advisories. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless old Chrome or Chromium remains in use. Prioritize cleanup in unmanaged endpoints, archived images, kiosks, or long-lived Linux systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome or Chromium to 43.0.2357.65 or later.; Apply relevant Debian, Gentoo, or openSUSE browser security updates.; Remove unsupported legacy browser builds from managed endpoints..
