Google Chrome < 33.0.1750.152 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 73083

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 33.0.1750.152. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A remote code-execution flaw exists due to a read/write error with the a sandbox bypass, specifically the V8 JavaScript engine. This could allow an attacker to execute code or cause a denial of service if the exploit fails. (CVE-2014-1705)

- A use-after-free flaw exists with the 'document.location' bindings. An attacker, using a specially crafted web page, can dereference freed memory and could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-1713)

- A flaw exists with the clipboard message filter. A context-dependent attacker could bypass sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2014-1714)

- A restriction bypass flaw exists with the 'CreatePlatformFileUnsafe()' function in the 'base/platform_file_win.cc' where user input is not properly sanitized. A context-dependent attacker could open arbitrary directories bypassing sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2014-1715)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 33.0.1750.152 or later.
