Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Chromium web browser. Multiple use-after-free, out-of-bounds read, memory safety, and cross-site scripting issues were discovered and corrected.

- CVE-2013-2837 Use-after-free vulnerability in the SVG implementation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

- CVE-2013-2838 Google V8, as used in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.

- CVE-2013-2839 Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during handling of clipboard data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.

- CVE-2013-2840 Use-after-free vulnerability in the media loader in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2846.

- CVE-2013-2841 Use-after-free vulnerability in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the handling of Pepper resources.

- CVE-2013-2842 Use-after-free vulnerability in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the handling of widgets.

- CVE-2013-2843 Use-after-free vulnerability in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the handling of speech data.

- CVE-2013-2844 Use-after-free vulnerability in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to style resolution.

- CVE-2013-2845 The Web Audio implementation in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

- CVE-2013-2846 Use-after-free vulnerability in the media loader in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2840.

- CVE-2013-2847 Race condition in the workers implementation in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

- CVE-2013-2848 The XSS Auditor in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

- CVE-2013-2849 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Chromium before 27.0.1453.93 allow user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving a (1) drag-and-drop or (2) copy-and-paste operation.

Solution

Upgrade the chromium-browser packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), the security support window for Chromium has ended. Users of Chromium on oldstable are very highly encouraged to upgrade to the current stable Debian release (wheezy).
Chromium security support for wheezy will last until the next stable release (jessie), which is expected to happen sometime in 2015.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 27.0.1453.93-1~deb7u1.
