These allow hackers to remotely gain administrative privileges, execute arbitrary code, bypass security features, and deploy aDenial of Service (DoS)attack on any system running the affected ChromeOS version.
All this can be achieved by tricking you into visiting a webpage specifically designed for deploying the attack.
