high Nessus Plugin ID 103119

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for chromium-browser.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2676 advisory.

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

This update upgrades Chromium to version 61.0.3163.79.

Security Fix(es):

* Multiple 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-2017-5111, CVE-2017-5112, CVE-2017-5113, CVE-2017-5114, CVE-2017-5115, CVE-2017-5116, CVE-2017-5117, CVE-2017-5118, CVE-2017-5119, CVE-2017-5120)

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL chromium-browser package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:2676.
