critical Nessus Plugin ID 208496

Synopsis

The remote CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2064 advisory.

- Type confusion in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 81.0.4044.138 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6464)

- A buffer overflow could occur when parsing and validating SCTP chunks in WebRTC. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.8, Firefox < 76, and Thunderbird < 68.8.0. (CVE-2020-6831)

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