Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS : Oxide vulnerabilities (USN-3236-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 99093

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-3236-1 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 obtain sensitive information, spoof application UI by causing the security status API or webview URL to indicate the wrong values, bypass security restrictions, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2017-5029, CVE-2017-5030, CVE-2017-5031, CVE-2017-5033, CVE-2017-5035, CVE-2017-5037, CVE-2017-5040, CVE-2017-5041, CVE-2017-5044, CVE-2017-5045, CVE-2017-5046)

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
