    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-0779 CVE-2011-1290


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

    CVE-2011-0779

    Google Chrome before 9.0.597.84 does not properly handle a missing key in an
    extension, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) via a crafted extension.

    CVE-2011-1290

    Integer overflow in WebKit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
    via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by Vincenzo Iozzo, Willem Pinckaers, and
    Ralf-Philipp Weinmann during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011.


    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed
    in version 6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze4

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed
    version 10.0.648.133~r77742-1


    We recommend that you upgrade your chromium-browser packages.
