CVE-2008-6998
Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en chrome/common/gfx/url_elider.cc en Google Chrome v0.2.149.27 y otras versiones anteriores a v0.2.149.29, podría permitir a atacantes remotos asistidos por usuarios ejecutar código de su elección a través del objetivo de un enlace (atributo href) con un número de elementos de path largo, lo que provocará un desbordamiento cuando la barra de estado se ha actualizado después de que el usuario mueva el ratón sobre el enlace.
CVSS
- Puntuación base
- 9.3
- Versión
- 2.0
- Vector
- AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días
- 9.68 %
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas
- 95
- Fecha de la puntuación
- 21/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
