Google Chrome before 18.0.1025.142 does not properly validate the renderer's navigation requests, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

Security update for Chromium and V8 to 18.0.1025.142.

Following bugs are listed in the Chrome changelog :

The bugs [112317<https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=112317>], [114056 <https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=114056>] and [ 117471 <https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117471>] were detected using AddressSanitizer<http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/Addre ssSanitizer> .

We'd also like to thank miaubiz, Chamal de Silva, Atte Kettunen of OUSPG, Aki Helin of OUSPG and Arthur Gerkis for working with us during the development cycle and preventing security regressions from ever reaching the stable channel. $8000 of additional rewards were issued for this awesomeness

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-24 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process, or a Denial of Service condition.
    The attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web       site using Chromium, possibly resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS), or       an unspecified SPDY certificate checking error.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 18.0.1025.142 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists in the v8 JavaScript engine that can allow invalid reads. (CVE-2011-3057)

  - An unspecified error exists related to bad interaction and 'EUC-JP'.  This can lead to cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2011-3058)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to SVG text handling and text fragment handling. (CVE-2011-3059, CVE-2011-3060)

  - A certificate checking error exists related to the SPDY protocol. (CVE-2011-3061)

  - An off-by-one error exists in the 'OpenType Sanitizer'. (CVE-2011-3062)

  - Navigation requests from the renderer are not validated carefully enough. (CVE-2011-3063)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to SVG clipping. (CVE-2011-3064)

  - An unspecified memory corruption error exists related to 'Skia'. (CVE-2011-3065)

  - The bundled version of Adobe Flash Player contains errors related to ActiveX and the NetStream class.  These errors can allow memory corruption, denial of service via application crashes and possibly code execution. (CVE-2012-0772, CVE-2012-0773)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 18.0.1025.142 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists in the v8 JavaScript engine that can     allow invalid reads. (CVE-2011-3057)

  - An unspecified error exists related to bad interaction     and 'EUC-JP'. This can lead to cross-site scripting     attacks. (CVE-2011-3058)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to SVG text     handling and text fragment handling. (CVE-2011-3059,     CVE-2011-3060)

  - A certificate checking error exists related to the     SPDY protocol. (CVE-2011-3061)

  - An off-by-one error exists in the 'OpenType Sanitizer'.
    (CVE-2011-3062)

  - Navigation requests from the renderer are not validated     carefully enough.(CVE-2011-3063)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to SVG clipping.
    (CVE-2011-3064)

  - An unspecified memory corruption error exists related     to 'Skia'. (CVE-2011-3065)

  - The bundled version of Adobe Flash Player contains     errors related to ActiveX and the NetStream class.
    These errors can allow memory corruption, denial of     service via application crashes and possibly code     execution. (CVE-2012-0772, CVE-2012-0773)
