Google Chrome version 0.2.149.29 was released on 5 September 2008, and
all users are being automatically updated. Automatic updates are a key
security feature in helping to ensure the safety of Google Chrome
users.

This is a security and bug fix update, with no new functionality.

Security Updates:

 - Fix a buffer overflow vulnerability in handling long filenames
   that display in the Save As... dialog. This is a critical risk that could
   lead to execution of arbitrary code.
     - Issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1414
     - Fix: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1766

 - Fix a buffer overflow vulnerability in handling link targets
   displayed in the status area when the user hovers over a link. This is a
   critical risk that could lead to execution of arbitrary code.
     - Issue: reported internally to Google
     - Fix: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1797

 - Fix an out-of-bounds memory read when parsing URLs ending with :%.
   This is a low risk that can be used to crash the entire browser, possibly
   causing loss of data in the current session.
     - Issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122
     - Fix: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1760

 - Change the default Downloads directory if it is set to Desktop,
   and ensure that Desktop cannot be the default. This mitigates the risk of
   malicious cluttering of the desktop with unwanted downloads, which can
   lead to executing unwanted files.
     - Fix: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1793

Other changes:

 - Fix a couple of data transfer issues with the Safe Browsing service causing
   unnecessary traffic.
   - Fix: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=1762

 - Fix a JavaScript bug that affected facebook.com. The fix properly
   handles negative indicies when using for...in.
