  - Update to 26.0.1403

  - Bug and stability fixes

  - Using system libxml2 requires system libxslt.

  - Using system MESA does not work in i586 for some reason.

  - Also use system MESA, factory version seems adecuate     now. 

  - Always use system libxml2.

  - Restrict the usage of system libraries instead of the     bundled ones to new products, too much hassle otherwise.

  - Also link kerberos and libgps directly, do not dlopen     them. 

  - Avoid using dlopen on system libraries, rpm or the     package Manager do not handle this at all. tested for a     few weeks and implemented with a macro so it can be     easily disabled if problems arise.

  - Use SOME system libraries instead of the bundled ones,     tested for several weeks and implemented with a macro     for easy enable/Disable in case of trouble.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-16 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website 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. Furthermore, a remote attacker       may be able to bypass security restrictions or have other, unspecified,       impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 25.0.1364.97 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified memory corruption error exists related to 'web audio node'. (CVE-2013-0879)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to database and URL handling. (CVE-2013-0880, CVE-2013-0898)

  - Improper memory read errors exist related to Matroska, excessive SVG parameters, and Skia. (CVE-2013-0881, CVE-2013-0882, CVE-2013-0883, CVE-2013-0888)

  - An error exists related to improper loading of 'NaCl'. (CVE-2013-0884)

  - The 'web store' is granted too many API permissions. (CVE-2013-0885)

  - The developer tools process is granted too many permissions and trusts remote servers incorrectly. (CVE-2013-0887)

  - User gestures are not properly checked with respect to dangerous file downloads. (CVE-2013-0889)

  - An unspecified memory safety issue exists in the IPC layer. (CVE-2013-0890)

  - Integer overflow errors exist related to blob and 'Opus' handling. (CVE-2013-0891, CVE-2013-0899)

  - Numerous, unspecified, lower-severity issues exist related to the IPC layer. (CVE-2013-0892)

  - Race conditions exist related to media handling and ICU. (CVE-2013-0893, CVE-2013-0900)

  - A buffer overflow exists related to vorbis decoding. (CVE-2013-0894)

  - Memory management errors exist related to plugin message handling. (CVE-2013-0896)

  - An off-by-one read error exists related to PDF handling. (CVE-2013-0897)

Note that the vendor states that WebKit's MathML implementation has been disabled in this release.  This is due to several unspecified, high severity security issues.  Successful exploitation of some of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is a version prior to 25.0.1364.97. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    (CVE-2013-0885)

  - The developer tools process is granted too many     permissions and trusts remote servers incorrectly.
    (CVE-2013-0887)

  - User gestures are not properly checked with respect to     dangerous file downloads. (CVE-2013-0889)

  - An unspecified memory safety issue exists in the IPC     layer. (CVE-2013-0890)

  - Integer overflow errors exist related to blob and     'Opus' handling. (CVE-2013-0891, CVE-2013-0899)

  - Numerous, unspecified, lower-severity issues exist     related to the IPC layer. (CVE-2013-0892)

  - A buffer overflow exists related to vorbis decoding.
    (CVE-2013-0894)

  - Memory management errors exist related to plugin     message handling. (CVE-2013-0896)

  - An off-by-one read error exists related to PDF     handling. (CVE-2013-0897)

Note that the vendor states that WebKit's MathML implementation has been disabled in this release.  This is due to several unspecified, high severity security issues.  Successful exploitation of some of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.
