A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web site or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.

The attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web site using Chromium, possibly resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS), or an unspecified SPDY certificate checking error.

There is no known workaround at this time.
