Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Google Chrome versions prior to 68.0.3440.75
Description
The issue is related to incorrect handling of frames in the VP8 parser, which can lead to heap corruption. A remote attacker can potentially exploit this issue via a crafted video file, causing a denial of service.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 68.0.3440.75, update to version 68.0.3440.75 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted video files that could trigger the heap corruption until a patch is applied. Restrict access to video files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
