Chrome, Google’s new Web browser is vulnerable to a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could expose Windows users to malicious hacker attacks.
A few hours after the release of Google Chrome, researcher Aviv Raff discovered that he could combine two vulnerabilities ; a Java bug discussed at this year’s Black Hat conference and a flaw in Apple Safari (WebKit) that trap users into launching executables direct from the new browser.
Some early Chrome’s users reported that files downloaded from the Internet are automatically dropped on the desktop, setting up scenarios where a combo-attack could be used in attacks.
