Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 19.0.1084.52, does not properly perform garbage collection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201205-04 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process, or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 19.0.1084.52 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists in the v8 JavaScript engine that can cause application crashes during garbage collection. (CVE-2011-3103)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists related to 'Skia'. (CVE-2011-3104)

  - Use-after-free errors exists related to 'first-letter handling', browser cache, and invalid encrypted PDFs. (CVE-2011-3105, CVE-2011-3108, CVE-2011-3112)

  - A memory corruption error exists related to websockets and SSL. (CVE-2011-3106)

  - An error exists related to plugin-in JavaScript bindings that can cause the application to crash. (CVE-2011-3107)

    (CVE-2011-3103)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists related to 'Skia'.
    (CVE-2011-3104)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to     'first-letter handling', browser cache, and invalid     encrypted PDFs. (CVE-2011-3105, CVE-2011-3108,     CVE-2011-3112)

  - A memory corruption error exists related to websockets     and SSL. (CVE-2011-3106)

  - An error exists related to plugin-in JavaScript     bindings that can cause the application to crash.
    (CVE-2011-3107)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists related to PDF     processing. (CVE-2011-3110)

  - An invalid read error exists related to the v8     JavaScript engine. (CVE-2011-3111)

  - An invalid cast error exists related to colorspace     handling in PDF processing. (CVE-2011-3113)

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to PDF     functions. (CVE-2011-3114)

  - A type corruption error exists related to the v8     JavaScript engine. (CVE-2011-3115)
