DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome, where
some have an unknown impact and others can be exploited by malicious
people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise
a user's system.

1) A validation error when performing message deserialisation can be
exploited to cause a crash or potentially corrupt memory.

This vulnerability affects 64-bit builds for Linux only.

2) An unspecified error when parsing Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can
be exploited to trigger an out-of-bounds read.

3) An unspecified error within cursor handling can be exploited to
reference stale pointers.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.0.552.224.
