Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro: Critical Firefox Vulnerabilities Resolved

Eleven severe vulnerabilities have been found in Chromium, including multiple Type Confusion bugs in V8, use-after-frees in Cast, Blink Task Scheduling and WebRTC, a heap buffer overflow in Visuals, out-of-bounds read and write in WebGL, out-of-bounds memory access in ANGLE, and insufficient data validation and inappropriate implementation in Extensions. These bugs have received a National Vulnerability Database severity rating of “High” due to their ease of exploitation and the significant threat they pose to impacted systems' confidentiality, integrity, and availability. . These issues have allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption and perform arbitrary read/write via a crafted HTML page. They also enabled an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject scripts or HTML into a privileged page via a crafted Chrome Extension. Important updates have been released for Chromium that fix these dangerous flaws.
