Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium, some of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Chromium is an open source web browser project.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-client/chromium < 17.0.963.83 >= 17.0.963.83
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please
review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for
details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web
site using Chromium, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition,
Universal Cross-Site Scripting, or installation of an extension without
user interaction.
A remote attacker could also entice a user to install a specially
crafted extension that would interfere with browser-issued web
requests.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/chromium-17.0.963.83"
