PARTIAL Summary
The video functionality in Google Chrome before 10.0.648.127 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that trigger use of a malformed "out-of-bounds structure."
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 10.0.648.127. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - It may be possible to navigate or close the top location in a sandboxed frame. (Issue #42574, #42765) - A cross-origin error message leak exists. (Issue #69187) - A memory corruption issue exists with counter nodes. (Issue #69628) - An unspecified issue exists with stale nodes in box layout. (Issue #70027) - A cross-origin error message leak exists with workers. (Issue #70336) - A use-after-free error exists with DOM URL handling. (Issue #70442) - A same origin policy bypass exists in v8. (Issue #70877) - It may be possible to bypass the pop-up blocker. (Issue #70885, #71167) - A use-after-free error exists in document script lifetime handling. (Issue #71763) - An out-of-bounds write issue exists in the OGG container. (Issue #71788) - A stale pointer exists in table painting. (Issue #72028) - A corrupt out-of-bounds structure may be used in video code. (Issue #73026) - It may be possible to crash the application with the DataView object. (Issue #73066) - A bad cast exists in text rendering. (Issue #73134) - A stale pointer exists in the WebKit context code. (Issue #73196) - It may be possible for heap addresses to leak in XSLT. (Issue #73716) - A stale pointer exists with SVG cursors. (Issue #73746) - It is possible for the DOM tree to be corrupted with attribute handling. (Issue #74030) - An unspecified corruption exists via re-entrancy of RegExp code. (Issue #74662) - An invalid memory access exists in v8. (Issue #74675) |
