Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.111 on Windows, OS X, and Linux and before 40.0.2214.109 on Android allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.

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)

  - webkitgtk: heap-based buffer overflow (WSA-2015-0001) (CVE-2014-1303)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and     Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving HTML document subtrees. (CVE-2010-1761)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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.

  - webkitgtk: heap-based buffer overflow (WSA-2015-0001) (CVE-2014-1303)

  - webkitgtk: Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-40414)

  - 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 related to the handling of input.
    (CVE-2013-2871)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

These non-security issues were fixed :

  - Fix using 'echo' command in chromium-browser.sh script

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 41.0.2272.76. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as FREAK     (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), exists due to     the support of weak EXPORT_RSA cipher suites with keys     less than or equal to 512 bits. A man-in-the-middle     attacker may be able to downgrade the SSL/TLS connection     to use EXPORT_RSA cipher suites which can be factored in     a short amount of time, allowing the attacker to     intercept and decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-0204)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write errors exist in skia     filters and media. (CVE-2015-1212, CVE-2015-1213,     CVE-2015-1214, CVE-2015-1215)

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist in v8 bindings,     DOM, GIF decoder, web databases, and service workers,     which allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1216,     CVE-2015-1218, CVE-2015-1220, CVE-2015-1221,     CVE-2015-1222, CVE-2015-1223)

  - Multiple type confusion errors exist in v8 bindings that     allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1217,     CVE-2015-1230)

  - An integer overflow error exists in the WebGL that     allows arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1219)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds read errors exist in vpxdecoder     and pdfium that allow unauthorized access to     information. (CVE-2015-1224, CVE-2015-1225)

  - A validation error exists in the debugger.
    (CVE-2015-1226)

  - Multiple uninitialized value errors exist in blink and     rendering. (CVE-2015-1227, CVE-2015-1228)

  - A cookie-injection vulnerability exists due to a failure     to properly handle a 407 HTTP status code accompanied by     a Set-Cookie header. (CVE-2015-1229)

  - Multiple, unspecified errors exist that allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-1231)

  - An out-of-bounds write flaw exists due to an array index     error in the DispatchSendMidiData() function that occurs     when handling a port index supplied by a renderer. A     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2015-1232)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper     interaction between the '1993 search' features and     restore-from-disk RELOAD transitions when Instant     Extended mode is used. A remote attacker can exploit     this to spoof the address bar for a search-results page.

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.

Updated chromium-browser packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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.
