Use-after-free vulnerability in the VisibleSelection::nonBoundaryShadowTreeRootNode function in core/editing/VisibleSelection.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 on Windows, OS X, and Linux and before 40.0.2214.109 on Android, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers improper handling of a shadow-root anchor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - WebKit: Improper handling of data types from event objects (CVE-2010-4205)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201502-13 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service condition,       gain privileges via a filesystem: URI, or have other unspecified impact.
  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-2495-1 advisory.

    A use-after-free bug was discovered in the DOM implementation 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-2015-1209)

    It was discovered that V8 did not properly consider frame access restrictions when throwing exceptions in     some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-1210)

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly restrict the URI scheme during ServiceWorker     registration. If a user were tricked in to downloading and opening a specially crafted HTML file, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2015-1211)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial     of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2015-1212)

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 remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0163 advisory.

    Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web     page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     Chromium. (CVE-2015-1209, CVE-2015-1210, CVE-2015-1211, CVE-2015-1212)

    All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     Chromium version 40.0.2214.111, which corrects these issues. After     installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 40.0.2214.111. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Several use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315,     CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322)

  - Several memory corruption errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0314,     CVE-2015-0316, CVE-2015-0318, CVE-2015-0321,     CVE-2015-0329, CVE-2015-0330)

  - Several type confusion errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0317, CVE-2015-0319)
