Use-after-free vulnerability in the GPU process in Google Chrome before 10.0.648.205 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
