Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 22.0.1229.92, does not properly render text, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-07 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web       site using Chromium, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary       code with the privileges of the process, arbitrary file write, a Denial       of Service condition, Cross-Site Scripting in SSL interstitial and       various Universal Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 22.0.1229.92 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified error exists related to Skia text rendering can cause the application to crash. (CVE-2012-2900)

  - A race condition exists related to audio device handling. (CVE-2012-5108)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to 'ICU' regular expressions and the compositor. (CVE-2012-5109, CVE-2012-5110)

  - The 'Pepper' plugins are missing crash monitoring. (CVE-2012-5111)

Successful exploitation of any of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 22.0.1229.92 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified error exists related to Skia text     rendering can cause the application to crash.
    (CVE-2012-2900)

  - A race condition exists related to audio device     handling. (CVE-2012-5108)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to 'ICU'     regular expressions and the compositor.
    (CVE-2012-5109, CVE-2012-5110)

  - The 'Pepper' plugins are missing crash monitoring.
    (CVE-2012-5111)

Successful exploitation of any of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.
