A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in Google Chrome up to 8.0.552.208 (Web Browser). Affected is an unknown function of the file vorbis_dec.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple buffer overflows in vorbis_dec.c in the Vorbis decoder in FFmpeg, as used in Google Chrome before 8.0.552.237 and Chrome OS before 8.0.552.344, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted WebM file, related to buffers for (1) the channel floor and (2) the channel residue.

The weakness was published 01/12/2011 by Sergey Glazunov (SkyLined) with Chromium Development Community as 68115 (Website). The advisory is available at code.google.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2011-0480. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 10/12/2021). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.
