Title: Google Chrome prior to 3.0.195.32 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Google Chrome is web browser for multiple platforms.
The browser is prone to these vulnerabilities:
1. A security-bypass vulnerability occurs because the browser fails to warn a user about dangerous file types such as SVG, MHT, and XML before downloading them. An attacker can use these files to execute JavaScript in other browsers in the local context, potentially allowing the attacker to execute privileged actions such as obtaining he contents of local files.
2. A memory-corruption vulnerability resides in the Gears SQL API implementation. Specifically, an attacker may use the API to put SQL metadata into a bad state and corrupt memory. To exploit this issue, the attacker must trick a user into allowing the interaction of a malicious site with the Gears plugin.
Attackers can exploit these issues to bypass certain security checks, trick users into executing scripts in the local context, execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser, and cause a denial-of-service condition; other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to Chrome 3.0.195.32 are vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- Google Chrome 3.0 Beta
- Google Chrome 3.0.195.21
- Google Chrome 3.0.195.24
