oxide-qt vulnerabilities
It was discovered that a long running unload handler could cause an incognito profile to be reused in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1586)
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, spoof an application's URL bar, obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
