critical Nessus Plugin ID 95661

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3153-1 advisory.

 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, read uninitialized memory, obtain sensitive information, spoof the webview URL, bypass same origin restrictions, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-5204, CVE-2016-5205, CVE-2016-5207, CVE-2016-5208, CVE-2016-5209, CVE-2016-5212, CVE-2016-5215, CVE-2016-5222, CVE-2016-5224, CVE-2016-5225, CVE-2016-5226, CVE-2016-9650, CVE-2016-9652)

 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5213, CVE-2016-5219, CVE-2016-9651)

 An integer overflow was discovered in ANGLE. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5221)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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