DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome, 
where
some have an unknown impact and others can potentially be 
exploited
by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or 
compromise a
user's system.

1) An unspecified error in the layout code can be exploited to
disclose memory content.

2) An unspecified error exists related to large canvases. 
Further
information is currently not available.

3) An unspecified error in the rendering code can be exploited 
to
corrupt memory.

4) An unspecified error in the SVG handling can be exploited to
corrupt memory.

5) An unspecified error exists related to hostname truncation 
and
incorrect eliding. No further information is currently 
available.

NOTE: Two workarounds that prevent exploitation of a Windows 
kernel
bug and a glibc bug have also been implemented. No further
information is currently available.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.0.375.125.
