Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 16.0.912.75 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving animation frames.

Chromium update to version 18.0.1022 fixes several security issues

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 16.0.912.75 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A heap-based buffer overflow exists in libxml. (CVE-2011-3919)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to animation frames. (CVE-2011-3921)

  - A stack-based-buffer overflow exists related to glyph processing. (CVE-2011-3922)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 16.0.912.75 and is affected the following vulnerabilities:

  - A heap-based buffer overflow exists related to 'libxml'.
    (CVE-2011-3919)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to animation     frames. (CVE-2011-3921)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow exists related to glyph     processing. (CVE-2011-3922)

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.
