The PDF parser in Google Chrome before 16.0.912.63 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-03 (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 perform URL bar spoofing.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 16.0.912.63 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to regex matching, libxml, the PDF parser, the SVG parser, YUV video frame handling, il8n handling in V8 and PDF cross references. (CVE-2011-3903, CVE-2011-3905, CVE-2011-3906, CVE-2011-3908, CVE-2011-3910, CVE-2011-3911, CVE-2011-3914, CVE-2011-3916)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to SVG filters, Range handling and bidi handling. (CVE-2011-3904, CVE-2011-3912, CVE-2011-3913)

  - URL bar spoofing is possible due to an error related to 'view source'. (CVE-2011-3907)

  - A memory corruption error exists related to arrays of CSS properties. (CVE-2011-3909)

  - A buffer overflow exists related to PDF font handling. (CVE-2011-3915)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow exists related to the 'FileWatcher'. (CVE-2011-3917)
