## Description

Google Chrome before 8.0.552.237 and Chrome OS before 8.0.552.344 do not
properly handle Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences in conjunction
with CANVAS elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that
lead to a "stale pointer."
