Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 11.0.696.57 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the ruby element and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
