CVE-2008-6994: Google Chrome

High severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 10.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the SaveAs feature (SaveFileAsWithFilter function) in win_util.cc in Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web page with a long TITLE element, which triggers the overflow when the user saves the page and a long filename is generated. NOTE: it might be possible to exploit this issue via an HTTP response that includes a long filename in a Content-Disposition header.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: version 0.2.149.27 only
