Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54.0.2840.59. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exists in the Blink and Bookmarks components due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5181, CVE-2016-5191)

 - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in Blink due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5182)

 - Multiple use-after-free errors exist in PDFium that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5183, CVE-2016-5184)

 - A use-after-free error exists in Blink that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5185)

 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the DevTools component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2016-5186)

 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof URLs.
 (CVE-2016-5187, CVE-2016-5189)

 - An unspecified flaw exists related to the display of drop-down menus that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disguise user interface elements and conduct spoofing attacks. (CVE-2016-5188)

 - A use-after-free error exists in the Internals component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5190)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in Blink that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions. (CVE-2016-5192)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass schemes.
 (CVE-2016-5193)

 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Skia component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-5194)

 - A flaw exists in FrameView.cpp due to improper handling of orthogonal writing mode roots with floating siblings.
 An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5194)

 - A flaw exists in permission_prompt_impl.cc due to improper handling of permission bubbles. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted website performing timing attacks, to obtain unintended permissions. (CVE-2016-5194)

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 version 54.0.2840.59 or later.
