security advisory critical issue browser security memory error GURL library
Google has released version 4.1.249.1064 of its Chrome browser for Windows to correct three critical vulnerabilities. The company had fixed seven vulnerabilities in its WebKit-based browser just a week ago. According to reports, the new problems relate to a bug in the GURL library which allows attackers to circumvent the same origin policy. It's also possible to provoke a memory error using prepared fonts, or when processing HTML5 media data. The vulnerabilities might allow an exploit to inject and execute code.
