CVE-2013-2842

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 27.0.1453.93

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the handling of widgets, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts. The vulnerability is also associated with the browser's rendering process and the use of memory after it has been freed, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code by removing the current embedded HTML object from its parent object during a beforeload event tied to the child object of the embedded object.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 27.0.1453.93, update to version 27.0.1453.93 or later to resolve the issue.
