Google V8 before 3.14.5.3, as used in Google Chrome before 24.0.1312.52, does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-16 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker       may be able to bypass security restrictions or have other, unspecified,       impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 24.0.1312.52 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to SVG layout,     DOM handling, video seeking, PDF fields and printing.
    (CVE-2012-5145, CVE-2012-5147, CVE-2012-5150,     CVE-2012-5156, CVE-2013-0832)

  - An error related to malformed URLs can allow a Same     Origin Policy (SOP) bypass, thereby allowing cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2012-5146)

  - A user-input validation error exists related to filenames     and hyphenation support. (CVE-2012-5148)

  - Integer overflow errors exist related to audio IPC     handling, PDF JavaScript and shared memory allocation.
    (CVE-2012-5149, CVE-2012-5151, CVE-2012-5154)

  - Out-of-bounds read errors exist related to video     seeking, PDF image handling, printing and glyph     handling. (CVE-2012-5152, CVE-2012-5157,     CVE-2012-0833, CVE-2012-0834)

  - An out-of-bounds stack access error exists in the     v8 JavaScript engine. (CVE-2012-5153)
