DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities and weaknesses have been reported in
Google Chrome, where some have unknown impacts and
others can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security
restrictions, or compromise a user's system.

1) A use-after-free error when handling pop-up windows and
navigating away from the current site can be exploited to
corrupt memory via a specially crafted web page.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.195.38. Other
versions may also be affected.

2) An unspecified error can be exploited to bypass the pop-up
blocker.

3) A design error in the handling of CSS stylesheets can be
exploited
to potentially disclose sensitive information from other
domains.

4) An unspecified error allows XMLHttpRequests to directories.

5) An unspecified error exists related to escaping characters
in
shortcuts.

6) Unspecified errors exist related to drawing on canvases,
which can
corrupt memory.

7) An unspecified error exists during image decoding, which can
corrupt memory.

8) An unspecified error exists, which may result in failure to
strip
"Referer".

9) An unspecified error affects cross-domain access.

10) An unspecified error exists in the deserialisation of
bitmaps.
