Summary     : JavaScript Engine
Description :
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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update Information:

This update fixes an issue with Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before
 28.0.1500.95, which allows remote

attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified

other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion."



Please note that this issue's impact on Node.js is somewhat lessened since
 it

does not typically execute JavaScript from foreign sources.
