| 39 | Description |
| 40 | =========== |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. |
| 43 | Please review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below |
| 44 | for details. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Impact |
| 47 | ====== |
| 48 | |
| 49 | A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially |
| 50 | crafted web site or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly |
| 51 | resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
| 52 | process, or a Denial of Service condition. The attacker also could |
| 53 | cause a Java applet to run without user confirmation. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Workaround |
| 56 | ========== |
| 57 | |
| 58 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Resolution |
| 61 | ========== |
| 62 | |
| 63 | All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | # emerge --sync |
| 66 | # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/chromium-15.0.874.121" |
| 67 | |
| 68 | All V8 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | # emerge --sync |
