Summary
Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash, execute
arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the
victim. (CVE-2016-1622, CVE-2016-1623, CVE-2016-1624, CVE-2016-1625,
CVE-2016-1626, CVE-2016-1627)
