Google Chrome before 15.0.874.120 does not properly perform VP8 decoding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted stream.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201111-05 (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. The attacker also could cause       a Java applet to run without user confirmation.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 15.0.874.120.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    - A double-free error exists in the Theora decoder.
      (CVE-2011-3892)

    - Out-of-bounds read errors exist in the MVK and Vorbis       media handlers. (CVE-2011-3893)

    - A memory corruption error exists in the VP8 decoding.
      (CVE-2011-3894)

    - A heap overflow error exists in the Vorbis decoder.
      (CVE-2011-3895)

    - A buffer overflow error exists in shader variable       mapping functionality. (CVE-2011-3896)

    - A use-after-free error exists related to unspecified       editing. (CVE-2011-3897)

    - In JRE7, applets are allowed to run without the       proper permissions. (CVE-2011-3898)
