high Nessus Plugin ID 91716

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 51.0.2704.103. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists in the individualCharacterRanges() function in CachingWordShaper.cpp that is triggered when handling invalid glyph shaping results. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of code.

- A use-after-free error exists in the OnChannelMessage() function in node_channel.cc that allows a remote attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

- An unspecified flaw exists in shared_worker_devtools_manager.cc that allows a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 51.0.2704.103 or later.
