CVE-2014-1723 Information

Description

The UnescapeURLWithOffsetsImpl function in net/base/escape.cc in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.116 does not properly handle bidirectional Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof URLs via crafted use of right-to-left (RTL) Unicode text.
