Google has released an important security update for Chrome browser. The latest version 3.0.195.24 eliminates a serious bug which makes it possible to run arbitrary code. The bug resides in the implementation of the dtoa function in JavaScript V8 engine. In a special situation, an attacker can run malicious code inside of Chrome (the sandbox). The attack may occur after visiting appropriately crafted web site. Vulnerability does not affect only Chrome browser because gdtoa library is used in many other projects, such as OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Google has ranked the vulnerability as high.
