Details


Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could

application UI by causing the security status API or webview URL to
indicate the wrong values, bypass security restrictions, cause a denial
of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
