Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Chromium browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CVE-2011-1108

  Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly implement JavaScript dialogs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted HTML document.

• CVE-2011-1109

  Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly process nodes in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) stylesheets, 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-2011-1113

  Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 on 64-bit Linux platforms does not properly perform pickle deserialization, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

• CVE-2011-1114

  Google Chrome before 9.0.597.107 does not properly handle 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 node.

• CVE-2011-1115
