CVE-2011-0473 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.". EPSS estimates a 2.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
