## Description

core/rendering/compositing/RenderLayerCompositor.cpp in Blink, as used in
Google Chrome before 38.0.2125.102 on Android, does not properly handle a
certain IFRAME overflow condition, which allows remote attackers to spoof
content via a crafted web site that interferes with the scrollbar.

Our packages include the RenderLayerCompositor.cpp file; I assume
this affects us, too, despite the "on Android" mention.
