HTTP: Google Chrome url_elider.cc Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Google Chrome. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Extended Description
Google Chrome is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 is vulnerable.
