The PDF functionality in Google Chrome before 19.0.1084.52 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger out-of-bounds write operations.

Analyst readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2011-3110 is an old Google Chrome PDF handling flaw. A malicious PDF-related web vector could crash the browser and may have caused other unspecified impact. The public record identifies fixed Chrome versions before 19.0.1084.52, but does not provide a CVSS score or confirmed exploitation evidence.

Executive priority

Treat this as a legacy-browser hygiene issue. It is serious if old Chrome remains in use, but it should not drive emergency response without evidence of affected systems or active exploitation.

Technical view

The issue is an out-of-bounds write in Chrome PDF functionality before 19.0.1084.52. Remote attackers could trigger denial of service or possibly unspecified additional impact through vectors reaching the PDF component. Public details are limited across the CVE and referenced Chromium issues.

Likely exposure

Exposure is mainly limited to systems still running Google Chrome earlier than 19.0.1084.52 or derived legacy builds with the vulnerable PDF functionality. Modern managed Chrome deployments should not be exposed if browser updates are enforced.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. It describes remote attackability through PDF-related vectors, but does not provide exploit maturity, reliable exploitation details, or confirmed real-world abuse.

Researcher notes

The strongest source facts are product/version boundary, PDF functionality, out-of-bounds write, and remote denial-of-service or unspecified impact. Public data is sparse: no CVSS, no CWE, no KEV, and several historical Chromium issue references may have limited accessibility.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to 19.0.1084.52 or later.
  • Confirm enterprise browser update enforcement covers unmanaged endpoints.
  • Retire or isolate legacy systems requiring old Chrome versions.
  • Check vendor guidance for any platform-specific remediation details.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Chrome versions across managed and unmanaged endpoints.
  • Flag any Chrome installation earlier than 19.0.1084.52.
  • Verify PDF handling is not delegated to vulnerable legacy Chrome builds.
  • Confirm browser patch compliance through endpoint management telemetry.
