Google Chrome < 54.0.2840.98 Multiple Vulnerabilities (macOS)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 94677

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 54.0.2840.98. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the FFmpeg component due to an integer overflow condition in the mov_read_keys() function in mov.c caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted content, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5199)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the V8 component due to an out-of-bounds read error that is triggered when handling 'Math.sign'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted content, to crash the browser or disclose memory contents.
 (CVE-2016-5200)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the expose() function in utils.js. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted content, to disclose sensitive internal class information. (CVE-2016-5201)

 - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the PruneExpiredDevices() function in dial_registry.cc that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5202)

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 54.0.2840.98 or later.
