[ga] Chrome Gets Some more Dents

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

As an FYI and warning:

(September 3, 2008)
People have already begun to find vulnerabilities in the beta version
of Google Chrome, the company's new web browser.  In one scenario
involving a flaw in the WebKit engine and another in Java, users could
be tricked into downloading executable files.  In another scenario, the
browser could be crashed when users click on maliciously crafted links.
Proof-of-concept code has been posted for both vulnerabilities.

  Security and saftey doesn't seem to be what Google has advertised.
I am sure that comes as little surprise to cautious minded users.
