Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 22.0.1229.79 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to plug-in handling.

Chromium was upgraded to version 24.0.1290 which fixed multiple security flaws.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-07 (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, arbitrary file write, a Denial       of Service condition, Cross-Site Scripting in SSL interstitial and       various Universal Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
