Descriptions

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.

Google Chrome BETA (v0.2.149.27) no pide confirmacion al usuario antes de descargar un fichero ejecutable, lo cual facilita a atacantes remotos o malware producir una denegacion de servicio (consumo del espacio de disco) o explotar otras vulnerabilidades a traves de una URL que haga referencia a un fichero ejecutable, posiblemente relacionado con la caracteristica "preguntar donde guardar antes de iniciar descarga"
