Several memory corruption bugs were discovered in ICU. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via renderer crash
or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render
process. (CVE-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7926)
A use-after-free was discovered in the IndexedDB implementation. If a user
were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
