Description
Google Chrome contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
There are 31 vulnerabilities that are due to multiple errors in the affected application. Several vulnerabilities are due to use-after-free and out-of-bounds memory errors as a result of parsing malformed content. Additional vulnerabilities are due to errors in handling URLs and PDFs.
