Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-6650 to the following vulnerability :

Name: CVE-2013-6650

URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6650

The StoreBuffer::ExemptPopularPages function in store-buffer.cc in Google V8 before 3.22.24.16, as used in Google Chrome before 32.0.1700.102, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger incorrect handling of 'popular pages.'

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected v8 package.
