Do you know that Chrome is vulnerable, or are you just going by the version numbers?

Chrome sandboxes plugins in order to give an extra layer of protection against exactly these kind of exploits. The interesting question will be how it helps in this case. Do you have any info?

ADDED: initial reports suggest Chrome is NOT affected; whether its thanks to Chrome's sandboxing model or whether its because Chrome has patched it isn't clear: http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerab...




Flash is also sandboxed in Firefox and maybe IE. Different sandboxes, of course, but it is no panacea.
