An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-2837 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-2011-2837/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2837/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-2837","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2837/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-2837","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-388x-5h6x-87xj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Google Chrome browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Google Chrome on Linux lacked position-independent code protections, potentially weakening exploit mitigations for attackers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Chrome","cpe":[{"product":"chrome","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Google Chrome before 14.0.835.163 on Linux does not use the PIC and PIE compiler options for position-independent code, which has unspecified impact and attack 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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2837","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:chrome","products":["google:chrome"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2838"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2836"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-09-17","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Google Chrome on Linux lacked position-independent code protections, potentially weakening exploit mitigations for attackers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2837/"}
