A vulnerability has been discovered in ChromeOS which could allow for arbitrary code execution. ChromeOS is a Linux-based operating system developed and designed by Google. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
