Chrome before 19 may crash or be exploited

CVE-2011-3095 · published 14 years ago
Summary

The OGG audio feature in Google Chrome versions earlier than 19.0.1084.46 can be triggered by a remote user to cause the browser to stop working, and it might allow other unintended actions. This happens because the program writes data outside the area it should, leading to instability. Updating Chrome to version 19.0.1084.46 or later fixes the issue.
