 - Multiple, unspecified memory safety issues exist.
 (CVE-2011-2985)

 - An error in the D2D hardware acceleration code can allow image data from one domain to be read by another domain.
 (CVE-2011-2986)

 - An error in the ANGLE library used by the WebGL implementation can allow heap overflows, possibly leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2987)

 - An error in the shader program handling code can allow a large shader program to overflow a buffer and crash.
 (CVE-2011-2988)

 - An unspecified error exists related to WebGL. (CVE-2011-2989)

 - Two errors exist related to Content Security Policy and can lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2011-2990)

 - There is an error in the implementation of the 'window.location' JavaScript object when creating named frames. This can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy and potentially conduct cross-site scripting attacks.(CVE-2011-2999)
