Google Chrome < 50.0.2661.94 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 90794

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 50.0.2661.94. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An out-of-bounds write error exists in Blink that allows a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-1660)

 - A flaw exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling cross-process frames.
 A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-1661)

 - A use-after-free error exists in the extensions component. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1662)

 - A use-after-free free error exists in Blink's V8 bindings. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1663)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows a context-dependent attacker to spoof the address bar.
 (CVE-2016-1664)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in V8 that allows a context-dependent attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1665)

 - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities exist that allow a a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-1666)

 - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Skia in the pinToByte() function in effects/SkArithmeticMode.cpp due to improper handling of intermediate color values. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via timing attacks using the SVG 'feComposite' filter, to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5168)

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 50.0.2661.94 or later.
