Debian DSA-5180-1 : chromium - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 163024

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5180 advisory.

- Use after free in Chrome OS Shell in Google Chrome on Chrome OS prior to 103.0.5060.114 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific user interactions to potentially exploit heap corruption via direct UI interactions. (CVE-2022-2296)

- Heap buffer overflow in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 103.0.5060.114 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2022-2294)

- Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 103.0.5060.114 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2022-2295)

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 103.0.5060.114-1~deb11u1.
