Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Google Chrome before 22.0.1229.79 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to the Google V8 bindings, aka "Universal XSS (UXSS)."

Chromium was upgraded to version 24.0.1290 which fixed multiple security flaws.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-07 (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, arbitrary file write, a Denial       of Service condition, Cross-Site Scripting in SSL interstitial and       various Universal Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
