Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8.
Please review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below
for details.

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.

Workaround
=========

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/chromium-19.0.1084.46"

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/v8-3.9.24.21"
