Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium and V8, worst
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
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-client/chromium < 33.0.1750.146 >= 33.0.1750.146
2 dev-lang/v8 < 3.20.17.13 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
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-33.0.1750.1=46"
Gentoo has discontinued support for separate V8 package. We recommend
that users unmerge V8:
# emerge --unmerge "dev-lang/v8"
