Stack-based buffer overflow in the SaveAs feature (SaveFileAsWithFilter function) in win_util.cc in Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web page with a long TITLE element, which triggers the overflow when the user saves the page and a long filename is generated. NOTE: it might be possible to exploit this issue via an HTTP response that includes a long filename in a Content-Disposition header.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome Save As flaw. A malicious page with an unusually long title could crash or potentially run code when a user manually saved the page. The evidence points to Chrome 0.2.149.27 and public exploit references, but not current active exploitation. Exposure should be rare in modern enterprises because the affected version is an early 2008 Chrome release. Risk remains for unmanaged legacy endpoints, old portable browser copies, lab systems, or archived virtual machines that can browse untrusted pages. Treat as a legacy cleanup issue with high impact if present. It should not outrank actively exploited modern browser flaws, but any confirmed vulnerable installation should be removed quickly because public exploit material exists. Mitigation focus: Remove or isolate Chrome 0.2.149.27 wherever found.; Upgrade affected systems to a supported Chrome release.; Block execution of obsolete portable Chrome builds..
