Google Chrome before 13.0.782.107 does not ensure that extension installations are confirmed by a browser dialog, which makes it easier for remote attackers to modify the product's functionality via a Trojan horse extension.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 13.0.782.107.  As such, it is potentially affected by several vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified error exists related to extension     installation and confirmation dialogs. (Issue #75821)

  - A stale pointer issue exists related to bad line box     tracking and rendering. (Issue #78841)

  - A security bypass issue exists related to file download     prompts. (Issue #79266)

  - A string handling issue exists related to the HTTP     basic authentication dialog box. (Issue #79426)

  - Developer mode NPAPI extensions do not always prompt     a user before installation. (Issue #83273)

  - A local, unspecified path disclosure issue exists and     is related to the GL log. (Issue #83841)

  - Extensions' homepage URLs are not properly sanitized.
    (Issue #84402)

  - The browser's speech-input element is not always on the     screen at required times. (Issue #84600)

  - A re-entrancy issue related to the GPU lock can cause     the browser to crash. (Issue #84805)

  - A buffer overflow exists in the inspector     serialization. (Issue #85559)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to the Pepper     plugin, floating styles, float removal, media     selectors, Skia, resource caching, HTML range handling,     frame loading and display box rendering that can cause     the browser to crash. (Issues #85808, #86502, #87148,     #87227,# 87548, #87729, #87925, #88846, #88889)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists related to the     Internal Components for Unicode (ICU). (Issue #86900)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to text     iteration and Skia paths. (Issue #87298)

  - A cross-frame function leak exists. (Issue #87339)

  - Access to internal schemes is not properly enforced.
    (Issue #87815)

  - Client side redirect targets may be leaked to remote     locations. (Issue #88337)

  - Const lookups can cause the V8 JavaScript engine to     crash. (Issue #88591)

  - Certain PDF files with nested functions can cause the     browser to crash. (Issue #89142)

  - The same origin policy is not properly enforced which     can lead to cross-origin script injection and other     cross-origin violations. (Issues #89520, #90222)

  - It is possible to bypass the dangerous file prompt. (Issue 79266)

  - An unspecified issue exists relating to the designation of strings in the basic auth dialog. (Issue 79426)

  - A file permissions error exists with drag and drop.  Note that this issue only affects Chrome on Linux. (Issue 81307)

  - Developer mode NPAPI extension installs are not always confirmed via browser dialog boxes. (Issue 83273)

  - It is possible for the local file path to be disclosed via a GL program log. (CVE-2011-2784)

  - The homepage URL in extensions is not properly sanitized. (Issue 84402)

  - The speech-input bubble is not always displayed on-screen. (Issue 84600)
