Description: From the CVE entries:

Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Linux does not properly isolate renderer processes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (cross-process interference) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2012-2846)

Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, does not request user confirmation before continuing a large series of downloads, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted web site. (CVE-2012-2847)

The drag-and-drop implementation in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended file access restrictions via a crafted web site. (CVE-2012-2848)

Off-by-one error in the GIF decoder in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted image. (CVE-2012-2849)

The webRequest API in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, does not properly interact with the Chrome Web Store, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site. (CVE-2012-2853)

Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about pointer values by leveraging access to a WebUI renderer process. (CVE-2012-2854)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) DOM implementation in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document. (CVE-2012-2857)

Buffer overflow in the WebP decoder in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted WebP image. (CVE-2012-2858)

Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Linux does not properly handle tabs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2012-2859)

The date-picker implementation in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site. (CVE-2012-2860)
