Google Chrome < 2.0.172.37 Buffer Overflow

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.0.172.37. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

• A heap overflow exists when evaluating specially crafted regular expressions in Javascript. This could lead to a denial of service or the remote execution of arbitrary code withing the Google Chrome sandbox.

• A memory corruption issue exists in the renderer process that could cause a denial of service or possibly allow arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the logged on user.

• A denial-of-service issue when the application handles a maliciously crafted webpage containing a ‘HTMLSelectElement’ object with a large length attribute.
