TITLE:
Google Chrome Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36417
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36417/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome, which can
be exploited by malicious people to potentially conduct spoofing
attacks, disclose sensitive information, or potentially compromise a
user's system.
1) An error in the V8 JavaScript engine can be exploited to read
restricted memory. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive data
or potentially execute arbitrary code in the Google Chrome sandbox.
2) The browser connects to SSL servers using certificates signed with
MD2 or MD4 hashing algorithms. This can be exploited to spoof valid
certificates if an MD2 or MD4 collision attack is successful.
3) Multiple use-after-free errors when processing XML content can
potentially be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code
in the Google Chrome sandbox.
This is related to vulnerability #2 in:
SA36207
