3. Description:

 

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

 

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

page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash, execute

arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the

victim. (CVE-2016-1630, CVE-2016-1631, CVE-2016-1632, CVE-2016-1633,

CVE-2016-1634, CVE-2016-1635, CVE-2016-1636, CVE-2016-1637, CVE-2016-1638,

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain Chromium version 49.0.2623.75, which corrects these issues.

After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes

to take effect.
