Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2008-6997
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome version 0.2.149.27
**Description**
The issue allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a browser crash. This occurs when an IMG tag with a long `src` attribute is used, and the crash is triggered when the victim performs an "Inspect Element" action.
**Recommendations**
For Google Chrome version 0.2.149.27, consider avoiding the use of long `src` attributes in IMG tags to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, refrain from performing the "Inspect Element" action on potentially malicious web pages until a fix is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
