CVE-2011-1293 Use-after-free vulnerability in the HTMLCollection implementation in Google Chrome allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. CVE-2011-1440 Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the Ruby element and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences. CVE-2011-1444 Race condition in the sandbox launcher implementation in Google Chrome on Linux allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. CVE-2011-1797 Google Chrome does not properly render tables, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a stale pointer. CVE-2011-1799 Google Chrome does not properly perform casts of variables during interaction with the WebKit engine, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze5. For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon.
