SVRT - Bkis have just discovered vulnerability in Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 and would like to inform you with this. Here comes the report: Details: - Type of Issue: Buffer Overflow. - Affected Software: Google Chrome 0.2.149.27. - Exploitation Environment: Google Chrome (Language: Vietnamese) on Windows XP SP2. - Impact: Remote code execution - Description: The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling the “SaveAs” function. On saving a malicious page with an overly long title (<title> tag in HTML), the program causes a stack-based overflow and makes it possible for attackers to execute arbitrary code on users’ systems. - How an attacker could exploit the issue : To exploit the Vulnerability, a hacker might construct a specially crafted Web page, which contains malicious code. He then tricks users into visiting his Website and convinces them to save this Page. Right after that, the code would be executed, giving him the privilege to make use of the affected system. - Exploitation code: Proof of Concept: Crash (Attached to this document). - Researcher: AnhLD – SVRT member. - About SVRT : Bkis Vietnam is a security research center in Vietnam. SVRT, which is short for Security Vulnerability Research Team, is one of Bkis researching groups. SVRT specializes in the detection, alert and announcement of security vulnerabilities in software, operating systems, network protocols and embedded systems... - Contact detail: Name: Security Vulnerability Research Team.

Thank you for disclosing this responsibly. We have reproduced the issues and believe we have developed a fix. revision 1766 (http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1766) has been applied to our release branch to address this issue. QA: Please use the test case provided in this issue (open the file and then right- click > Save As...) to verify the fix. I'll continue to update this issue with expected timelines for when we have verified the fix and when we start updating users. Anantha: we need to assign a verifier for build 149.28.
