TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34900

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34900/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Google Chrome, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose certain system information
and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the improper handling of
"ChromeHTML" URIs, which can be exploited to enumerate local files
and folders or execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of arbitrary websites by tricking the user
into clicking a specially crafted link in Internet Explorer.

Successful exploitation requires that Google Chrome is not running
and that a victim follows a malicious link in Internet Explorer.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0.154.55 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.154.59.
