CVE-2018-18336

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 71.0.3578.80

Description The issue is related to the incorrect object lifecycle in the PDFium component of Google Chrome, which can lead to heap corruption. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted PDF file, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 71.0.3578.80, update to version 71.0.3578.80 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of PDF files from untrusted sources until the update is applied.
