Full Disclosure: Re: Google Chrome Browser Vulnerability

[Rishi Narang <psy.echo () gmail com>]

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.
