Debian DSA-2307-1 : chromium-browser - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 56145

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Chromium browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CVE-2011-2818 Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to display box rendering.

 - CVE-2011-2800 Google Chrome allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about client-side redirect targets via a crafted website.

 - CVE-2011-2359 Google Chrome does not properly track line boxes during rendering, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that lead to a 'stale pointer'.

Several unauthorised SSL certificates have been found in the wild issued for the DigiNotar Certificate Authority, obtained through a security compromise with said company. This update blacklists SSL certificates issued by DigiNotar-controlled intermediate CAs used by the Dutch PKIoverheid program.

Solution

Upgrade the chromium-browser packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze6.
