- [455225] CVE-2015-1212: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2495-1 advisory.

    A use-after-free bug was discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1209)

    It was discovered that V8 did not properly consider frame access restrictions when throwing exceptions in     some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-1210)

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly restrict the URI scheme during ServiceWorker     registration. If a user were tricked in to downloading and opening a specially crafted HTML file, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2015-1211)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial     of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2015-1212)

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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0163 advisory.

    Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web     page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     Chromium. (CVE-2015-1209, CVE-2015-1210, CVE-2015-1211, CVE-2015-1212)

    All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     Chromium version 40.0.2214.111, which corrects these issues. After     installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 40.0.2214.111. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Several use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315,     CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322)

  - Several memory corruption errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0314,     CVE-2015-0316, CVE-2015-0318, CVE-2015-0321,     CVE-2015-0329, CVE-2015-0330)

  - Several type confusion errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0317, CVE-2015-0319)

  - Several heap-based buffer-overflow errors exist that     allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0323,     CVE-2015-0327)

  - A buffer overflow error exists that allows arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2015-0324)

  - Several null pointer dereference errors exist that have     unspecified impacts. (CVE-2015-0325, CVE-2015-0326,     CVE-2015-0328).

  - A user-after-free error exists within the processing of     invalid m3u8 playlists. A remote attacker, with a     specially crafted m3u8 playlist file, can force a     dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed,     allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-0331)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to the DOM     component. (CVE-2015-1209)

  - A cross-origin bypass error exists related to the V8     JavaScript engine bindings. (CVE-2015-1210)

  - A privilege escalation error exists related to service     workers. (CVE-2015-1211)

  - Various, unspecified errors exist. (CVE-2015-1212)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 40.0.2214.111. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Several use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315,     CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322)

  - Several memory corruption errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0314,     CVE-2015-0316, CVE-2015-0318, CVE-2015-0321,     CVE-2015-0329, CVE-2015-0330)
