Title: Google Chrome V8 JavaScript Engine Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Google Chrome is a web browser.
Chrome is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Specifically, this issue arises when the V8 JavaScript engine handles malformed JavaScript code. Malicious JavaScript code may gain unauthorized access to memory, allowing the attacker to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code in the Chrome sandbox. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions caused by a renderer (tab) crash.
The attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to view a malicious webpage.
This issue affects versions prior to Chrome 2.0.172.43.
