Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2018-18336
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 71.0.3578.80
**Description**
The issue is related to the incorrect object lifecycle in the PDFium component of Google Chrome, which can lead to heap corruption. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted PDF file, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 71.0.3578.80, update to version 71.0.3578.80 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of PDF files from untrusted sources until the update is applied.
