Updated chromium-browser-stable packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated chromium-browser packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Use-after-free vulnerability in the IndexedDB implementation in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering duplicate BLOB references, related to content/browser/indexed_db/indexed_db_callbacks.cc and content/browser/indexed_db/indexed_db_dispatcher_host.cc (CVE-2014-7924).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the WebAudio implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger an audio-rendering thread in which AudioNode data is improperly maintained (CVE-2014-7925).

The SimplifiedLowering::DoLoadBuffer function in compiler/simplified-lowering.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not properly choose an integer data type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code (CVE-2014-7927).

hydrogen.cc in Google V8, as used Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not properly handle arrays with holes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers an array copy (CVE-2014-7928).

Use-after-free vulnerability in core/events/TreeScopeEventContext.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers improper maintenance of TreeScope data (CVE-2014-7930).

factory.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers improper maintenance of backing-store pointers (CVE-2014-7931).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the HTMLScriptElement::didMoveToNewDocument function in core/html/HTMLScriptElement.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving movement of a SCRIPT element across documents (CVE-2014-7929).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the Element::detach function in core/dom/Element.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving pending updates of detached elements (CVE-2014-7932).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to unexpected absence of document data structures (CVE-2014-7934).

Use-after-free vulnerability in browser/speech/tts_message_filter.cc in the Speech implementation in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving utterances from a closed tab (CVE-2014-7935).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the ZoomBubbleView::Close function in browser/ui/views/location_bar/zoom_bubble_view.cc in the Views implementation in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document that triggers improper maintenance of a zoom bubble (CVE-2014-7936).

The Fonts implementation in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors (CVE-2014-7938).
