This plugin has been renamed to openSUSE-2016-664.nasl, plugin ID 90107.

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, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the victim. (CVE-2016-1630, CVE-2016-1631, CVE-2016-1632, CVE-2016-1633, CVE-2016-1634, CVE-2016-1635, CVE-2016-1636, CVE-2016-1637, CVE-2016-1638, CVE-2016-1639, CVE-2016-1640, CVE-2016-1641, CVE-2016-1642)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 49.0.2623.75, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

  - CVE-2016-1640     Luan Herrera discovered an issue with the Extensions     user interface.

  - CVE-2016-1641     Atte Kettunen discovered a use-after-free issue in the     handling of favorite icons.

  - CVE-2016-1642     The chrome 49 development team found and fixed various     issues during internal auditing. Also multiple issues     were fixed in the v8 JavaScript library, version     4.9.385.26.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 49.0.2623.75. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple overflow conditions exist in the libpng library     in the png_set_PLTE() and png_get_PLTE() functions due     to improper handling of bit depths less than eight. A     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted PNG image, to cause a denial of service     condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-8126)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in Blink that allows an     attacker to bypass the same-origin policy.
    (CVE-2016-1630)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Pepper plugin that     allows an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy.
    (CVE-2016-1631)

  - A bad cast flaw exists in the Extensions component that     allows an attacker to have an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2016-1632)

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist in Blink. A remote     attacker can exploit these issues to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1633, CVE-2016-1634, CVE-2016-1635)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     bypass SRI validation. (CVE-2016-1636)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1637)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     bypass the webAPI. (CVE-2016-1638)

  - A use-after-free error exists in WebRTC. A remote     attacker can exploit this issue to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1639)

  - An unspecified origin confusion flaw exists in the     Extensions UI that allows an attacker to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-1640)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Favicon. A remote     attacker can exploit this issue to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1641)

  - Multiple flaws exist that allow a remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1642)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in Google V8 in     runetime-scopes.cc that allows an attacker to cause a     denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2843)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     bypass SRI validation. (CVE-2016-1636)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1637)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     bypass the webAPI. (CVE-2016-1638)

  - An unspecified origin confusion flaw exists in the     Extensions UI that allows an attacker to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-1640)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Favicon. A remote     attacker can exploit this issue to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1641)

  - Multiple flaws exist that allow a remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1642)
