Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2009-08-19 05:24 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:03
Severity
Summary
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.
