## Description

The RuntimeEventRouter::OnExtensionUninstalled function in
extensions/browser/api/runtime/runtime\_api.cc in Google Chrome before
45.0.2454.85 does not ensure that the setUninstallURL preference
corresponds to the URL of a web site, which allows user-assisted remote
attackers to trigger access to an arbitrary URL via a crafted extension
that is uninstalled.
