    Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 9.0.597.84 allows remote

    Unspecified vulnerability in Google Chrome before 9.0.597.84 allows
    user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) via vectors involving a "bad volume setting."


    CVE-2011-0983

    "stale pointer."


    CVE-2011-0984

    Google Chrome before 9.0.597.94 does not properly handle plug-ins, which
