Summary
oxide-qt vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that Chromium did not properly handle the interaction of IPC, the gamepad API and V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-1233)

A buffer overflow was discovered in the GPU service. 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. (CVE-2015-1234)

It was discovered that Oxide did not correctly manage the lifetime of BrowserContext, resulting in a potential use-after-free in some circumstances. 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. (CVE-2015-1317)
