So, if you're browsing this page at the moment with Google Chrome and point your mouse over this link here, your Chrome browser will crash

But thats not scary, what scares me is this one:

http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/6355

Google's new Web browser (Chrome) allows files (e.g., executables) to be automatically downloaded to the user's computer without any user prompt.

Just wanted to let you know

Personally, I wont use it until they fix possible security issues.. I'll give it at least few months or so.

Wow, the geniuses at Google have problems with sprintf().

I CALLED IT FIRST!

[scubadiver626]

i just crashed chrome by pointing at the link... I don't get it the big selling point of Chrome is that your tabs can die but it wont tank the whole browser WTF Google...

[TampaToker]

The fact it actually shows every password in plain site for everything you logged into is enough for me not to use it

[beta-tester]

hahaha, nice find Well, nothing is perfect ;)

I hope it'll be fixed soon tho!

I just read about this exploit for running executables on another forum, it's not even that difficult to run. i won't be touching chrome for some time to come...

[HomerSimpson]

I knew it!
They suck

So I'll stick with FF until they take care of those...

Aside from the exploits, still not a fan of chrome. It's like a kids pretend woodsaw. Doesn't do much apart from look pretty.

to be fair exe's dont run by themselves, but this is a very bad exploit for reg surfers.

what happens incase anyone hasn't tried it is..

chrome has a special way of handling exe's you download in that after it downloads it , a tab opens at the bottom left of your browser with the icon and name of the exe you downloaded and a large green arrow points to the tab to tell you you have a file. If you click the tab it launches the exe. If you make the filename something catchy like "GOOGLE CHROME SECURITY UPDATE" wham..
