| 38 | Description |
| 39 | =========== |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. |
| 42 | Please review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below |
| 43 | for details. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Impact |
| 46 | ====== |
| 47 | |
| 48 | A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially |
| 49 | crafted web site or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly |
| 50 | resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
| 51 | process, or a Denial of Service condition. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | The attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web |
| 54 | site using Chromium, possibly resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS), |
| 55 | or an unspecified SPDY certificate checking error. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Workaround |
| 58 | ========== |
| 59 | |
| 60 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Resolution |
| 63 | ========== |
| 64 | |
| 65 | All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 66 | |
| 67 | # emerge --sync |
| 68 | # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/chromium-18.0.1025.142" |
| 69 | |
| 70 | All V8 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 71 | |
| 72 | # emerge --sync |
| 73 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/v8-3.8.9.16" |
