Notes

Topic
An update for v8 is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.0 (Liberty). Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine. V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google. V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, 3rd edition. Security Fix(es): * An integer-overflow flaw was found in V8's Zone class when allocating new memory (Zone::New() and Zone::NewExpand()).
