Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium and V8, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code and local root privilege escalation.
Background
Chromium is an open-source web browser project. V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.
Affected Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-client/chromium < 15.0.874.102 >= 15.0.874.102 2 dev-lang/v8 < 3.5.10.22 >= 3.5.10.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages -------------------------------------------------------------------
Impact
=====
A local attacker could gain root privileges (CVE-2011-1444, fixed in
chromium-11.0.696.57).
A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
crafted web site or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process, or a Denial of Service condition. The attacker also could
obtain cookies and other sensitive information, conduct
man-in-the-middle attacks, perform address bar spoofing, bypass the
same origin policy, perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, or bypass
pop-up blocks.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
