Vulnerabilities > CVE-2011-0477 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Google Chrome and Chrome OS
Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
Google Chrome before 8.0.552.237 and Chrome OS before 8.0.552.344 do not properly handle a mismatch in video frame sizes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

description | The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 8.0.552.237. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A browser crash exists in extensions notification handling. (Issue #58053) - Bad pointer handling exists in node iteration. (Issue #65764) - Multiple crashes exist when printing multi-page PDFs. (Issue #66334) - A stale pointer exists with CSS + canvas. (Issue #66560) - A stale pointer exists with CSS + cursors. (Issue #66748) - A use-after-free error exists in PDF handling. (Issue #67100) - A stack corruption error exists after PDF out-of-memory conditions. (Issue #67208) - A bad memory access issue exists when handling mismatched video frame sizes. (Issue #67303) - A stale pointer exists with SVG use element. (Issue #67363) - An uninitialized pointer exists in the browser which is triggered by rogue extensions. (Issue #67393) - Multiple buffer overflows exist in the Vorbis decoder. (Issue #68115) - A buffer overflow exists in PDF shading. (Issue #68170) - A bad cast exists in anchor handling. (Issue #68178) - A bad cast exists in video handling. (Issue #68181) - A stale rendering node exists after DOM node removal. (Issue #68439) - A stale pointer exists in speech handling. (Issue #68666) |
