Use-after-free vulnerability in the FrameSelection::updateAppearance function in core/editing/FrameSelection.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.137, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging improper RenderObject handling.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201408-16 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could conduct a number of attacks which include: cross       site scripting attacks, bypassing of sandbox protection,  potential       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause       a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2298-1 advisory.

    A type confusion bug was discovered in V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-1730)

    A type confusion bug was discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-1731)

    Multiple security issues including memory safety bugs were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked     in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial     of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2014-1735, CVE-2014-3162)

    Multiple use-after-free issues were discovered in the WebSockets implementation. If a user were tricked in     to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2014-1740)

    Multiple integer overflows were discovered in CharacterData implementation. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service via renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2014-1741)

    Multiple use-after-free issues were discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via renderer     crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-1742,     CVE-2014-1743)

    An integer overflow bug was discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application     crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-1744)

    An out-of-bounds read was discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafter     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash.
    (CVE-2014-1746)

    It was discovered that Blink allowed scrollbar painting to extend in to the parent frame in some     circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct clickjacking attacks via UI redress.
    (CVE-2014-1748)

    An integer underflow was discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafter     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-3152)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Chromium. If a use were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-3154)

    A security issue was discovered in the SPDY implementation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to     cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user     invoking the program. (CVE-2014-3155)

    A heap overflow was discovered in Chromium. If a use were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-3157)

    It was discovered that Blink did not enforce security rules for subresource loading in SVG images. If a     user opened a site that embedded a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to log page     views. (CVE-2014-3160)

    It was discovered that the SpeechInput feature in Blink could be activated without consent or any visible     indication. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could exploit     this to eavesdrop on the user. (CVE-2014-3803)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 34.0.1847.137. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in the included Flash     version that could lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2014-0510)

  - An unspecified error exists in the included Flash     version that could allow a bypass of the same origin     policy. (CVE-2014-0516)

  - Several security bypass errors exist in the included     Flash version. (CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518,     CVE-2014-0519, CVE-2014-0520)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to 'WebSockets'     and 'editing'. (CVE-2014-1740, CVE-2014-1742)

  - An integer overflow error exists related to DOM     ranges. (CVE-2014-1741)
