Synopsis


Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium, some of which may
allow user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.


Background


Chromium is an open-source web browser project.


Affected Packages

Package: www-client/chromium
Vulnerable: < 8.0.552.224
Unaffected: >= 8.0.552.224
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description


Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Chromium. For further
information please consult the release notes referenced below.


Impact


A remote attacker could trick a user to perform a set of UI actions
that trigger a possibly exploitable crash, leading to execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

It was also possible for an attacker to entice a user to visit a
specially-crafted web page that would trigger one of the
vulnerabilities, leading to execution of arbitrary code within the
confines of the sandbox, successful Cross-Site Scripting attacks,
violation of the same-origin policy, successful website spoofing
attacks, information leak, or a Denial of Service. An attacker could
also trick a user to perform a set of UI actions that might result in a
successful website spoofing attack.

Multiple bugs in the sandbox could result in a sandbox escape.

Multiple UI bugs could lead to information leak and successful website
spoofing attacks.


Workaround


There is no known workaround at this time.


Resolution


All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version:
