Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Chromium browser.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
CVE-2011-0779

extension, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) via a crafted extension.
CVE-2011-1290
Integer overflow in WebKit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by Vincenzo Iozzo, Willem Pinckaers, and
Ralf-Philipp Weinmann during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011.
