Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 4.1.3 and 5.0.x before 5.0.3, Google Chrome before 6.0.472.53, and webkitgtk before 1.2.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving element focus.

Google Chrome anterior a v6.0.472.53 no realiza apropiadamente el manejo del foco, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otros impactos sin especificar a través de vectores desconocidos. Relacionado con un problema "stale pointer"

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.
