Google Chrome before 10.0.648.204 does not properly handle base strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors, related to a "buffer error."

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 10.0.648.204 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer error exists in string handling functions. (72517)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the process for loading frames. (73216)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the processing of HTML Collections. (73595)

  - An error exists in the processing of CSS which leaves stale pointers behind. (74562)

  - An unspecified error allows DOM tree corruption related to broken node-hierarchy. (74991)

  - An error exists in the processing of SVG text which leaves stale pointers behind. (75170)
