  <impact type="normal">
    <p>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.
    </p>
    
    <p>The attacker could also perform URL bar spoofing.</p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Chromium users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/chromium-16.0.912.75"
    </code>
    
    <p>All V8 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/v8-3.6.6.11"
