Chrome's 'Save As' Flaw Could Give Attackers Control

The first batch of critical vulnerabilities in Google’s Chrome has been discovered, one of which allows attackers to run remote code-execution. Sheesh, that didn’t take long now did it?

“This is the first critical Chrome vulnerability permitting [a] hacker to perform a remote code-execution attack and take complete control of the affected system," the firm wrote in its Sept. 5 advisory. While four Chrome vulnerabilities were discovered, Bach Khoa said the "Save As" flaw is the only one that can allow an attacker to launch remote attacks from a victim's PC. Other vulnerabilities just crash the browser.
