Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving a 404 HTTP status code during the loading of resources.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2013-2853     The HTTPS implementation does not ensure that headers     are terminated by \r\n\r\n (carriage return, newline,     carriage return, newline).

  - CVE-2013-2867     Chrome does not properly prevent pop-under windows.

  - CVE-2013-2868     common/extensions/sync_helper.cc proceeds with sync     operations for NPAPI extensions without checking for a     certain plugin permission setting.

  - CVE-2013-2869     Denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted     JPEG2000 image.

  - CVE-2013-2870     Use-after-free vulnerability in network sockets.

  - CVE-2013-2871     Use-after-free vulnerability in input handling.

  - CVE-2013-2873     Use-after-free vulnerability in resource loading.

  - CVE-2013-2875     Out-of-bounds read in SVG file handling.

  - CVE-2013-2876     Chromium does not properly enforce restrictions on the     capture of screenshots by extensions, which could lead     to information disclosure from previous page visits.

  - CVE-2013-2877     Out-of-bounds read in XML file handling.

  - CVE-2013-2878     Out-of-bounds read in text handling.

  - CVE-2013-2879     The circumstances in which a renderer process can be     considered a trusted process for sign-in and subsequent     sync operations were not propertly checked.

  - CVE-2013-2880     The Chromium 28 development team found various issues     from internal fuzzing, audits, and other studies.

Versions prior to Google Chrome 28.0.1500.71 are potentially affected by the multiple vulnerabilities, the more serious of which are as follows:

  - Several remote code execution vulnerabilities exist due to use-after-free errors in multiple areas. A remote attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. (CVE-2013-2870, CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2873, CVE-2013-2879)

  - Memory corruption vulnerabilities exist which may be exploitable to induce arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-2869, CVE-2013-2878, CVE-2013-2875)

  - Information disclosure vulnerabilities exist that may be exploited by remote attackers to obtain information that can aid in further attacks. (CVE-2013-2853, CVE-2013-2874)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to confusion in extensions permissions, which a remote attacker could exploit to bypass intended security restrictions to perform unauthorized actions. (CVE-2013-2876)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is a version prior to 28.0.1500.71 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability exists that exposes HTTP in SSL to a     man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2013-2853)

  - Block pop-unders in various scenarios. (CVE-2013-2867)

  - An error exists related to an incorrect sync of the     NPAPI extension component. (CVE-2013-2868)

  - An unspecified flaw exists due to a lack of entropy in     renderers. (CVE-2013-2872)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to network sockets,     input handling, and resource loading. (CVE-2013-2870,     CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2873)

  - A screen data leak error exists related to GL textures.
    (CVE-2013-2874)

  - An extension permission error exists related to     interstitials.  (CVE-2013-2876)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds errors exist related to JPEG2000,     SVG, text handling and XML parsing.  (CVE-2013-2869,     CVE-2013-2875, CVE-2013-2877, CVE-2013-2878)

  - An unspecified error exists when setting up sign-in and     sync. (CVE-2013-2879)
