CVE-2011-1798

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 11.0.696.65

Description The issue is related to the rendering of SVG text elements in Google Chrome. It occurs when the RenderSVGText.cpp file in WebCore in WebKit does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during an attempt to handle a block child. This can allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, or possibly have other unknown impacts via a crafted text element in an SVG document.

Recommendations For versions prior to 11.0.696.65, update to version 11.0.696.65 or later to resolve the issue.
