Google Chrome before 17.0.963.46 does not properly decode audio data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

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.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 17.0.963.46 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Clipboard monitoring after a paste action is possible.
    (CVE-2011-3953)

  - Application crashes are possible with excessive     database usage, killing an 'IndexDB' transaction,     signature checks and processing unusual certificates.
    (CVE-2011-3954, CVE-2011-3955, CVE-2011-3965,     CVE-2011-3967)

  - Sandboxed origins are not handled properly inside     extensions. (CVE-2011-3956)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to PDF garbage     collection, stylesheet error handling, CSS handling,     SVG layout and 'mousemove' event handling.
    (CVE-2011-3957, CVE-2011-3966, CVE-2011-3968,      CVE-2011-3969, CVE-2011-3971)

  - An error exists related to bad casting and column     spans. (CVE-2011-3958)

  - A buffer overflow exists related to locale handing.
    (CVE-2011-3959)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to audio     decoding, path clipping, PDF fax imaging, 'libxslt',     and the shader translator. (CVE-2011-3960,     CVE-2011-3962, CVE-2011-3963, CVE-2011-3970,     CVE-2011-3972)

  - A race condition exists after a utility process     crashes. (CVE-2011-3961)

  - An unspecified error exists related to the URL bar     after drag and drop operations. (CVE-2011-3964)
