CVE-2018-6151

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 66.0.3359.117

Description The issue is related to a bad cast in DevTools in Google Chrome, which allowed an attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted Chrome Extension. This could be achieved if the attacker convinced a user to install a malicious extension. The vulnerability affects Google Chrome on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and Chrome OS.

Recommendations For versions prior to 66.0.3359.117, update to version 66.0.3359.117 or later to resolve the issue.

Avoid using unverified or suspicious extensions until the issue is resolved.
