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	Architecture(s)
www-client/chromium	< 29.0.1457.57	>= 29.0.1457.57	All supported architectures
dev-lang/v8	< 3.18.5.14	>= 3.18.5.14	All supported architectures

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. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass security restrictions or have other, unspecified, impact.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      ">=www-client/chromium-29.0.1457.57"
    

All V8 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/v8-3.18.5.14"
