An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2010-4038 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Chrome. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-4038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4038/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-4038","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q25r-8gwq-2w82"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Google Chrome browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash Google Chrome via improper handling of Web Sockets shutdown actions, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"chrome","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-404","name":"Improper Resource Shutdown or Release"}],"description":"The Web Sockets implementation in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.41 does not properly handle a shutdown action, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4038","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:chrome","products":["google:chrome"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4039"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4037"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium GPU Heap Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-4135","kev_date_added":"2022-11-28","published":"2022-11-25"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chrome Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2020-16017","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-01-08"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chrome for Android UI Heap Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2020-16010","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-11-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Out of Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-87491","kev_date_added":"2026-09-09","published":"2026-09-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2026-85046","kev_date_added":"2026-09-04","published":"2026-09-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Out-of-Bounds Read and Write","id":"CVE-2026-11645","kev_date_added":"2026-06-09","published":"2026-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Dawn Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2026-5281","kev_date_added":"2026-04-01","published":"2026-04-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash Google Chrome via improper handling of Web Sockets shutdown actions, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4038/"}
