5.0 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

Google Chrome BETA (0.2.149.27) does not prompt the user before saving an executable file, which makes it easier for remote attackers or malware to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) or exploit other vulnerabilities via a URL that references an executable file, possibly related to the "ask where to save each file before downloading" setting.

Affected configurations

• google chrome 0.2.149.27
