Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2014:1626 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Critical: chromium-browser security update 2014-10-14 11:22:06 UTC

Description Tomas Hoger 2014-10-10 11:20:59 UTC 
The NavigationScheduler::schedulePageBlock function in core/loader/NavigationScheduler.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 38.0.2125.101, does not properly provide substitute data for pages blocked by the XSS auditor, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2014-10-10 11:23:17 UTC 
While WebKit contains NavigationScheduler, it does not seem to contain functionality corrected by the fix for this issue.  Note that XSS auditor is feature of the Chrome/Chromium browser, hence consider WebKitGTK versions unaffected.  I haven't investigated QtWebKit, it's likely unaffected too.
