New CVE was added to cover additional V8 fixes:

Name: CVE-2015-8548
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-8548
Assigned: 20151213
Reference: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2015/12/stable-channel-update_8.html

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google V8 before 4.7.80.23, as
used in Google Chrome before 47.0.2526.80, allow attackers to cause a
denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors, a
different issue than CVE-2015-8478.
