Last Update Date: 28 Jan 2011 Release Date: 8 May 2009 4791 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Google Chrome, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.

The first vulnerability is caused by an integer overflow error in the Skia 2D graphics engine when computing image sizes, which could allow attackers to crash an affected tab or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page containing a specially crafted image or canvas.

The second issue is caused due to a failure to properly validate input from a renderer (tab) process, which could allow an attacker who is able to run arbitrary code in the renderer process to crash an affected browser or compromise the system.
