The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-19 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review       the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web       site using Chromium, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary       code with the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition,       Universal Cross-Site Scripting, or installation of an extension without       user interaction.
    A remote attacker could also entice a user to install a specially       crafted extension that would interfere with browser-issued web requests.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
