Description

Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 on Mac OS X does not ensure a sufficient source of entropy for renderer processes, which might make it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms in third-party components via unspecified vectors.

Affected products

Google Chrome: through 28.0.1500.70; 28.0.1500.0, 28.0.1500.2, 28.0.1500.3, 28.0.1500.4, 28.0.1500.5, 28.0.1500.6 (+56)
