CVE-2011-2879

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—
Severity6.8Medium · CVSS 2.0
Exploitation probability0.91 %higher than 60% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

Google Chrome before 14.0.835.202 does not properly consider object lifetimes and thread safety during the handling of audio nodes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
