Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium and V8, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code.
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 < 16.0.912.75 >= 16.0.912.75 2 dev-lang/v8 < 3.6.6.11 >= 3.6.6.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages -------------------------------------------------------------------
Impact
=====
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 could also perform URL bar spoofing.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
