    (CVE-2015-1293)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Skia. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website,     an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2015-1294)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the shared-timer implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of     service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1299)

    It was discovered that the availability of iframe Resource Timing API times was not properly restricted 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-2015-1300)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial     of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2015-1301)

    A heap corruption issue was discovered in oxide::JavaScriptDialogManager. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of     service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program.
