The WebSockets implementation in Google Chrome before 14.0.835.163 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via unspecified vectors.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
