The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5168 advisory.

- Use after free in Cast UI and Toolbar in Google Chrome prior to 103.0.5060.134 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to potentially exploit heap corruption via UI interaction. (CVE-2022-2163)

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

Solution

Upgrade the chromium packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 103.0.5060.53-1~deb11u1.
