Synopsis |
17 |
======== |
18 |
|
19 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium, some of which |
20 |
may allow user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
Chromium is an open-source web browser project. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Chromium. For further |
39 |
information please consult the release notes referenced below. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
A remote attacker could trick a user to perform a set of UI actions |
45 |
that trigger a possibly exploitable crash, leading to execution of |
46 |
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. |
47 |
|
48 |
It was also possible for an attacker to entice a user to visit a |
49 |
specially-crafted web page that would trigger one of the |
50 |
vulnerabilities, leading to execution of arbitrary code within the |
51 |
confines of the sandbox, successful Cross-Site Scripting attacks, |
52 |
violation of the same-origin policy, successful website spoofing |
53 |
attacks, information leak, or a Denial of Service. An attacker could |
54 |
also trick a user to perform a set of UI actions that might result in a |
55 |
successful website spoofing attack. |
56 |
|
57 |
Multiple bugs in the sandbox could result in a sandbox escape. |
58 |
|
59 |
Multiple UI bugs could lead to information leak and successful website |
60 |
spoofing attacks. |
61 |
|
62 |
Workaround |
63 |
========== |
64 |
|
65 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
66 |
|
67 |
Resolution |
68 |
========== |
69 |
|
70 |
All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version: |
71 |
|
72 |
# emerge --sync |
73 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/chromium-8.0.552.224" |
