Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 71.0.3578.98

Description The issue is related to incorrect object lifecycle handling 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.
