The Hook_Terminate function in chrome_frame/protocol_sink_wrap.cc in the Google Chrome Frame plugin before 26.0.1410.28 for Internet Explorer does not properly handle attach tab requests, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an _blank value for the target attribute of an A element.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-2493 is a crash-level denial-of-service issue in the Google Chrome Frame plugin for Internet Explorer before version 26.0.1410.28. A user would need to interact with crafted web content. The documented impact is application crash, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running Internet Explorer with the Google Chrome Frame plugin older than 26.0.1410.28. The bundle does not identify other affected products or supported platforms. Treat this as low urgency unless legacy Internet Explorer and Chrome Frame remain in use. The business risk is disruption from browser crashes, not confirmed compromise. Prioritize through legacy-browser cleanup and routine endpoint hygiene. Mitigation focus: Inventory Internet Explorer systems for the Google Chrome Frame plugin.; Update Chrome Frame to version 26.0.1410.28 or later where present.; Check Google or Chromium guidance if updating is not possible..
