Red Hat
Red Hat rates this Important.
This vulnerability is rated as an Important severity rather than Critical because successful exploitation is confined to the browser sandbox, preventing immediate compromise of the underlying operating system. An attacker must persuade a user to navigate to malicious web content to trigger memory corruption within the V8 JavaScript engine. In typical Red Hat deployments, Chromium is used in graphical desktop or workstation installations, meaning server systems without desktop browser usage remain unaffected.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
