A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Oxide.

Software Description: - oxide-qt: Web browser engine library for Qt (QML plugin)

Details:

A race condition was discovered in the MutationObserver implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2015-6789)

An issue was discovered with the page serializer in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to inject arbitrary script or HTML. (CVE-2015-6790)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-6791)

Multiple security issues were discovered in V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2015-8548)

An integer overflow was discovered in the WebCursor::Deserialize function in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-8664)
