Descriptions

Google Chrome before 6.0.472.53 and webkitgtk before 1.2.6 do not properly handle counter nodes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

Chrome de Google anterior a versión 6.0.472.53 y webkitgtk anterior a versión 1.2.6, no maneja apropiadamente los nodos contadores, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de vectores desconocidos.

This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2012. The worst of these vulnerabilities could lead to local privilege escalation and remote code execution.
