Upgrade chromium to version 40.0.2214.109 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The collator implementation in i18n/ucol.cpp in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 52 through SVN revision 293126, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not initialize memory for a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted character sequence.
