Ey there:

I got forwarded two posts about vulnerabilities that could affect Tails.

Can somebody have a look at them and let me know if Tails is affected by
them, or how could this attack be mitigated, etc? Both are Browser exploits

First post
http://www.deepdotweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=353&p=1022#p1022
comments something about a webpage writing on the MBR partition

Second post comes from slashdot
http://it.slashdot.org/story/15/04/22/1645226/new-javascript-attack-lets-websites-spy-on-the-cpus-cache

and is related to HTML5 and javascript. Here a better link:

Thanks in advance!
