How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 v8.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream v8 package and not the v8 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Zone::New function in zone.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.47, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not properly determine when to expand certain memory allocations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
