Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

Chromium. (CVE-2015-1209, CVE-2015-1210, CVE-2015-1211, CVE-2015-1212)

 

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Chromium version 40.0.2214.111, which corrects these issues. After

installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take

effect.
