Security: Chrome OS Infected Malware?

Reported by crew.not...@rocklinusd.org, Mar 24 2016

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

The Chrome base browser is infected with some type of malware or remnants of malware (e.g. maybe not completely removed by the AV software during compiling)

All Chrome Browsers I have used try to communicate with 3 different URLs that are completely encoded and are never the same. I was using fiddler on 3 different systems (2 home pcs and 1 work). All our current on AV and patches and no scans resulted in any findings. 

I left all 3 browser types IE, FF and Chrome open all night thru fiddler and only Chrome showed outgoing requests to the following URLs:
 

HEAD http://vqcsrztub/ HTTP/1.1
Host: vqcsrztub
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

HEAD http://mjszfuhqiwttjd/ HTTP/1.1
Host: mjszfuhqiwttjd
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

HEAD http://mwfobzjxqynzi/ HTTP/1.1
Host: mwfobzjxqynzi
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate


Again, this is a new install of chrome, no sites were attempted other than just opening Chrome. 

As I mentioned, I opened Chrome on my work system and same thing- however the URLs were different, but still grouped in 3s.

I have attached my fiddler sessions files so you can see what I am talking about.

Please call my cell phone for more information, and if you want a copy of my fiddler file from my work system.

My work address is mailto:hanson.nottingham@blueshieldca.com 

This is my son's school email... oh, my cell is 916 316 3523.

I believe this is working as intended. Chrome connects to these random URLs to check if the network intercepts requests to nonexistent domains: https://mikewest.org/2012/02/chrome-connects-to-three-random-domains-at-startup
omg... seriously. wow! cray cray... that is nuts. But I see the pros on it.

Thank you much. 

Cheers,
Hanson
