Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-1201-01 - V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine. A type confusion issue was found in the V8 JavaScript engine. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. Note: Exploitation of this issue requires, at the least, execution of malicious JavaScript. In the standard use case of ruby193-v8 in Red Hat OpenStack it is unlikely that a scenario exists where this would occur. Users of ruby193-v8 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.
