Descriptions

WebKit, as used in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44, webkitgtk before 1.2.6, and other products, does not properly handle large text areas, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted HTML document.

Google Chrome antes de su versión v7.0.517.44 no maneja correctamente areas de texto demasiado grandes, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (por corrupción de memoria) o incluso posiblemente tener algún otro impacto no especificado a travñes de un documento HTML debidamente modificado.
