DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions and compromise a user's system.

1) The application bundles a vulnerable version of the Adobe Flash
player.

For more information:
SA46818

2) A double free error exists in the Theora decoder.

3) Some errors in the MKV and Vorbis media handlers can be exploited
to perform an out of bounds read.

4) An error due to a regression within the VP8 decoding functionality
can be exploited to corrupt memory.

5) An error in the Vorbis decoder can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow.

6) An error in the shader variable mapping can be exploited to cause
a buffer overflow.

7) A use-after-free error exists within certain editing
functionality.

8) The application fails to ask for permission when running some JRE7
applets.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 15.0.874.120.
