Synopsis

The remote host is running an outdated web browser that may contain multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is a version prior to 36.0.1985.143 and is thus missing fixes for the following vulnerabilities:

- A use-after-free in the web socket implementation of Blink, which may be leveraged to execute arbitrary code (CVE_2014-3165)

- A flaw in the Public Key Pinning (PKP) implementation that may be leveraged to disclose sensitive information (CVE-2014-3166)

Other unspecified security flaws exist that have since been patched by this version.

Solution

Update the Chrome browser to 36.0.1985.143 or later.
