Updated chromium-browser-stable packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated chromium-browser packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Use-after-free vulnerability in the VisibleSelection::nonBoundaryShadowTreeRootNode function in core/editing/VisibleSelection.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers improper handling of a shadow-root anchor (CVE-2015-1209).

The V8ThrowException::createDOMException function in bindings/core/v8/V8ThrowException.cpp in the V8 bindings in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 does not properly consider frame access restrictions during the throwing of an exception, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site (CVE-2015-1210).

The OriginCanAccessServiceWorkers function in content/browser/service_worker/service_worker_dispatcher_host.cc in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 does not properly restrict the URI scheme during a ServiceWorker registration, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a filesystem: URI (CVE-2015-1211).

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors (CVE-2015-1212).

oxide-qt vulnerabilities

A use-after-free bug was discovered in the DOM 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-2015-1209)

It was discovered that V8 did not properly consider frame access restrictions when throwing exceptions in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-1210)

It was discovered that Chromium did not properly restrict the URI scheme during ServiceWorker registration. If a user were tricked in to downloading and opening a specially crafted HTML file, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2015-1211)

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-2015-1212)
