Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-0889)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Google Chrome before 25.0.1364.97 on Windows and Linux, and before 25.0.1364.99 on Mac OS X, does not properly enforce a user gesture requirement before proceeding with a file download, which might make it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
