Google Chrome before 11.0.696.57 does not properly handle floating objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a "stale pointer."

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 11.0.696.57.  Such versions of Chrome are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A stale pointer exists in floating object handling.
    (Issue #61502)

  - It may be possible to bypass the pop-up blocker via     plug-ins. (Issue #70538)

  - There is a lack of thread safety in MIME handling.
    (Issue #71586)

  - A bad extension with 'tabs' permission can capture local     files. (Issue #72523)

  - Multiple integer overflows exist in float rendering.
    (Issue #73526)

  - A same origin policy violation exists with blobs.
    (Issue #74653)

  - A use-after-free error exists with <ruby> tags and CSS.
    (Issue #75186)

  - A bad cast exists with floating select lists.
    (Issue #75347)

  - Corrupt node trees exist with mutation events.
    (Issue #75801)

  - Multiple stale pointers exist in layering code.
    (Issue #76001)

  - An out-of-bounds read exists in SVG. (Issue #76646)

  - It is possible to spoof the URL bar with navigation     errors and interrupted loads. (Issue #76666, #77507,     #78031)

  - A stale pointer exists in drop-down list handling.
    (Issue #76966)

  - A stale pointer exists in height calculations.
    (Issue #77130)

  - A use-after-free error exists in WebSockets.
    (Issue #77346)

  - Multiple dandling pointers exist in file dialogs.
    (Issue #77349)

  - Multiple dangling pointers exist in DOM id map.
    (Issue #77463)

  - It is possible to spoof the URL bar with redirect and     manual reload. (Issue #77786)

  - A use-after-free issue exists in DOM id handling.
    (Issue #79199)

  - An out-of-bounds read exists when handling     multipart-encoded PDFs. (Issue #79361)

  - Multiple stale pointers exist with PDF forms.
    (Issue #79364)
