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.
