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 < 15.0.874.121 >= 15.0.874.121 2 dev-lang/v8 < 3.5.10.24 >= 3.5.10.24 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. The attacker also could cause a Java applet to run without user confirmation. 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-15.0.874.121" All V8 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/v8-3.5.10.24" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2011-3892 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3892 [ 2 ] CVE-2011-3893 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3893 [ 3 ] CVE-2011-3894 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3894 [ 4 ] CVE-2011-3895 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3895 [ 5 ] CVE-2011-3896 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3896 [ 6 ] CVE-2011-3897 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3897 [ 7 ] CVE-2011-3898 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3898 [ 8 ] CVE-2011-3900 http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3900 [ 9 ] Release Notes 15.0.874.120 http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2011/11/stable-channel-update.html [ 10 ] Release Notes 15.0.874.121 http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2011/11/stable-channel-update_16.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201111-05.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
