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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Aug 2 2013 T.C.
