The remote host is missing an update for the 'oxide-qt' package(s) announced via the USN-2556-1 advisory. It was discovered that Chromium did not properly handle the interaction of IPC, the gamepad API and V8. A buffer overflow was discovered in the GPU service. Oxide did not correctly manage the lifetime of BrowserContext, resulting in a potential use-after-free in some circumstances
