Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

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.
