Multiple Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the Internet. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the applications. Depending on the privileges associated with the applications, an attacker could view, change, or delete data. If these applications have been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if they were configured with administrative rights.
