Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5393 advisory.

- Out of bounds memory access in Service Worker API in Google Chrome prior to 112.0.5615.137 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-2133, CVE-2023-2134)

- Use after free in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 112.0.5615.137 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to enable specific preconditions to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-2135)

- Integer overflow in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 112.0.5615.137 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.

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

Solution
