Descriptions

The tooltip manager (chrome/views/tooltip_manager.cc) in Google Chrome 0.2.149.29 Build 1798 and possibly other versions before 0.2.149.30 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a tag with a long title attribute, which is not properly handled when displaying a tooltip, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-6994. NOTE: there is inconsistent information about the environments under which this issue exists.

El gestor de "tooltips" (chrome/views/tooltip_manager.cc) de Google Chrome v0.2.149.29 Build 1798 y, posiblemente, de otras versiones anteriores a la v0.2.149.30 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de toda la CPU o caída de la aplicación) a través de una etiqueta con un atributo de título largo, que no es adecuadamente manejada cuando se muestra un "tooltip". Es una vulnerabilidad diferente a la CVE-2008-6994. NOTA: existen incosistencias en la información sobre los entornos bajo los que esta vulnerabilidad existe.
