Description Michael Harrison 2011-10-08 08:33:24 UTC
The vulnerability is caused by a stale pointer in the WebKit engine when
deleting a Ruby tag and its children in a specific order, which could be
exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system via a
specially crafted web page.

There are no specifics in your report, and it seems to suggest www-client/chromium-14.0.835.202 is *not* vulnerable, and we already have a bug for that one.
