Google Chrome is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because of a NULL-pointer-dereference error. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to view a malicious webpage. Successful exploits will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to Chrome 11.0.696.71 are vulnerable.
