dear god people, I've got null ptr derefs in firefox but I don't make
full disclosure posts about them. I care about them nearly as much as
vulnz in a browser no one uses for more than 5 minutes. Get the fuck
off my list.

Hi,

"Time" can definitely plays a major role.  There was a collision that occurred due to the fact that I took time to 
find the real break point in the code, search for a template and to publish at EvilFingers site before sending it to 
Google and other bugtraqs.

Even though I had the vulnerability 4 hrs well before the real publication of the bug and had the exploit along with 
the some crash details like "int 3" Kernel Exception/Trap @ 0x01002FF3, different attack cases, exceptions of 
http/ftp and further debug logs; there was this bug published (though without the details of possible cases, 
exceptions and mouse hover techniques) couple of hours before I released it out at EvilFingers.

So, I would like to convey due credit to Mr. JanDeMooij as well for his posting the bug on 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122, and thanks to Mr. Brennan for contacting me about the same.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Google Chrome Browser Vulnerability

Hi,

---------------------------------------------------
Software:
Google Chrome Browser 0.2.149.27

Tested:
Windows XP Professional SP3

Result:
Google Chrome Crashes with All Tabs

Problem:
An issue exists in how chrome behaves with undefined-handlers in
chrome.dll version 0.2.149.27. A crash can result without user
interaction. When a user is made to visit a malicious link, which has an
undefined handler followed by a 'special' character, the chrome crashes
with a Google Chrome message window "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed.
Restart now?". It fails in dealing with the POP EBP instruction when
pointed out by the EIP register at 0x01002FF4.
