DESCRIPTION:
Some weaknesses and vulnerabilities have been reported in Google
Chrome, where some have an unknown impact and others can be exploited
by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and
potentially compromise a user's system.

1) An error within the sandbox related to "stat()" can be exploited
to leak certain information.

Note: This only affects the Mac OS X version.

2) A use-after-free error exists within the image loading.

3) Some restrictions are not properly applied to cross-origin drag
and drop operations.

4) An error exists related to "extensions with missing key", which
can be exploited to cause a crash.

5) An error exists within the PDF event handler, which can be
exploited to cause a crash.

6) An error exists within the merging of autofill profiles.

7) An error related to the Mac OS 10.5 SSL libraries can be exploited
to cause a crash.

Note: This only affects the Mac OS X version.

8) An error related to a bad volume setting can be exploited to cause
a crash.

9) A race condition error exists within the audio handling.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in version 9.0.597.84.
