Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.56 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to database handling.

Chromium version 19.0.1046 and v8 version 3.9.7.0 fix several security issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201202-01 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review       the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web       site using Chromium, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary       code with the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition,       information leak (clipboard contents), bypass of the Same Origin Policy,       or escape from NativeClient's sandbox.
    A remote attacker could also entice the user to perform a set of UI       actions (drag and drop) to trigger an URL bar spoofing vulnerability.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 17.0.963.56 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Integer overflow errors exist related to PDF codecs and libpng. (CVE-2011-3015, CVE-2011-3026)

  - A read-after-free error exists related to 'counter nodes'. (CVE-2011-3016)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to database handling, subframe loading, and ddrag-and-drop functionality. (CVE-2011-3017, CVE-2011-3021, CVE-2011-3023)

  - Heap-overflow errors exist related to path rendering and 'MKV' handling. (CVE-2011-3018, CVE-2011-3019)

  - Unspecified errors exist related to the native client validator and HTTP use with translation scripts. (CVE-2011-3020, CVE-2011-3022)

  - Empty x509 certificates can cause browser crashes. (CVE-2011-3024)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists related to h.264 parsing. (CVE-2011-3025)

  - A bad variable cast exists related to column handling. (CVE-2011-3027)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 17.0.963.56 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Integer overflow errors exist related to PDF codecs and     libpng. (CVE-2011-3015, CVE-2011-3026)

  - A read-after-free error exists related to 'counter     nodes'. (CVE-2011-3016)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to database     handling, subframe loading, and drag-and-drop     functionality. (CVE-2011-3017, CVE-2011-3021,     CVE-2011-3023)

  - Heap-overflow errors exist related to path rendering and     'MKV' handling. (CVE-2011-3018, CVE-2011-3019)

  - Unspecified errors exist related to the native     client validator and HTTP use with translation scripts.
    (CVE-2011-3020, CVE-2011-3022)

  - Empty x509 certificates can cause browser crashes.
    (CVE-2011-3024)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists related to h.264     parsing. (CVE-2011-3025)

  - A bad variable cast exists related to column handling.
    (CVE-2011-3027)
