Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2011-2359 CVE-2011-2800 CVE-2011-2818 


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

CVE-2011-2818

   Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome allows remote attackers to
   cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
   vectors related to display box rendering.


CVE-2011-2800

   Google Chrome before allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
   information about client-side redirect targets via a crafted web site.


CVE-2011-2359

   Google Chrome does not properly track line boxes during rendering, which
   allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have
   unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a "stale pointer."


Several unauthorised SSL certificates have been found in the wild issued
for the DigiNotar Certificate Authority, obtained through a security
compromise with said company.
This update blacklists SSL certificates issued by DigiNotar-controlled
intermediate CAs used by the Dutch PKIoverheid program.


For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze6.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 13.0.782.220~r99552-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 13.0.782.220~r99552-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your chromium-browser packages.
