Google Chrome for Mac, Windows, and Linux contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on a targeted system.
Description
Google Chrome versions prior to 23.0.1271.64 for Mac, Windows, and Linux contain multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system.
This update addresses 13 vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are due to four out-of-bounds memory read errors, four use-after-free errors, inappropriate loading of SVG subresource in the img context, memory corruption errors in texture handling, and a race condition in Pepper buffer handling. A bad write in the v8 component of the affected software and a bad cast in input handling were also addressed with the software update.
The affected components include Skia, GPU command buffers, and Pepper plug-ins.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to view a malicious web page that contains crafted data. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the user or cause a DoS condition on the system.
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.
The security vulnerability applies to the following combinations of products.
