Chromium is an open source web browser project.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for details.
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, information leak (clipboard contents), bypass of the Same Origin Policy, or escape from NativeClient's sandbox.
A remote attacker could also entice the user to perform a set of UI actions (drag and drop) to trigger an URL bar spoofing vulnerability.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/chromium-17.0.963.56"
