Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This chromium version update fixes the following security and non-security issues :

 - Add patch chromium-fix-arm-skia-memset.patch to resolve a linking issue on ARM with regards to missing symbols.

 - Add patch arm_use_gold.patch to use the right gold binaries on ARM. Hopefully this resolves the build issues with running out of memory

 - bnc#872805: Update to Chromium 34.0.1847.116

 - Responsive Images and Unprefixed Web Audio

 - Import supervised users onto new computers

 - A number of new apps/extension APIs

- Lots of under the hood changes for stability and performance

- Security fixes :

 - CVE-2014-1716: UXSS in V8

 - CVE-2014-1717: OOB access in V8

 - CVE-2014-1718: Integer overflow in compositor

 - CVE-2014-1719: Use-after-free in web workers

 - CVE-2014-1720: Use-after-free in DOM

 - CVE-2014-1721: Memory corruption in V8

 - CVE-2014-1722: Use-after-free in rendering

 - CVE-2014-1723: Url confusion with RTL characters

 - CVE-2014-1724: Use-after-free in speech

 - CVE-2014-1725: OOB read with window property

 - CVE-2014-1726: Local cross-origin bypass

 - CVE-2014-1727: Use-after-free in forms

 - CVE-2014-1728: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives

 - CVE-2014-1729: Multiple vulnerabilities in V8

- No longer build against system libraries as that Chromium works a lot better and crashes less on websites than with system libs

 - Added package depot_tools.tar.gz as that the chromium build now requires it during the initial build phase. It just contains some utilities and nothing from it is being installed.

 - If people want to install newer versions of the ffmpeg library then let them. This is what they want.

 - Remove the buildscript from the sources

Solution

Update the affected chromium packages.
