OVERVIEW
Google have released an update for Chrome, correcting several
security vulnerabilities.
IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following information regarding these
vulnerabilities:
"CVE-2009-XXXX User not warned for some file types that can execute
JavaScript
The user was not warned about certain possibly dangerous file types
such as SVG, MHT and XML files. In some browsers, JavaScript can
execute within these types of files. Because the JavaScript runs in
the local context, it may be able to access local resources." [1]
"CVE-2009-XXXX Possible memory corruption in the Gears plugin
A malicious site could use the Gears SQL API to put SQL metadata
into a bad state, which could cause a subsequent memory corruption.
This may lead to a Gears plugin crash or possibly arbitrary code
execution." [1]
MITIGATION
The latest version of Google Chrome can be downloaded from the vendor's
website. [2]
