A flaw was found in Google Chrome's USB component. A remote attacker, after compromising the renderer process, could exploit a race condition by using a specially crafted HTML page. This could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code outside of the browser's security sandbox, allowing the attacker to gain further control over the system.
