Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Chromium browser.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:


CVE-2011-1108

Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly implement JavaScript
dialogs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
HTML document.


CVE-2011-1109

Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly process nodes in Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) stylesheets, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown
vectors that lead to a "stale pointer."


CVE-2011-1113

Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 on 64-bit Linux platforms does not properly
perform pickle deserialization, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.


CVE-2011-1114

Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly handle tables, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a "stale node."


CVE-2011-1115

Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly render tables, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a "stale pointer."


CVE-2011-1121

Integer overflow in Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
vectors involving a TEXTAREA element.


CVE-2011-1122

The WebGL implementation in Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified
vectors, aka Issue 71960.
