Updated chromium-browser packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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-2015-1213, CVE-2015-1214, CVE-2015-1215, CVE-2015-1216, CVE-2015-1217, CVE-2015-1218, CVE-2015-1219, CVE-2015-1220, CVE-2015-1221, CVE-2015-1222, CVE-2015-1223, CVE-2015-1224, CVE-2015-1225, CVE-2015-1226, CVE-2015-1227, CVE-2015-1228, CVE-2015-1229, CVE-2015-1230, CVE-2015-1231)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 41.0.2272.76, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 41.0.2272.76. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write errors exist in skia     filters and media. (CVE-2015-1212, CVE-2015-1213,     CVE-2015-1214, CVE-2015-1215)

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist in v8 bindings,     DOM, GIF decoder, web databases, and service workers,     which allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1216,     CVE-2015-1218, CVE-2015-1220, CVE-2015-1221,     CVE-2015-1222, CVE-2015-1223)

  - Multiple type confusion errors exist in v8 bindings that     allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1217,     CVE-2015-1230)

  - An integer overflow error exists in the WebGL that     allows arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-1219)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds read errors exist in vpxdecoder     and pdfium that allow unauthorized access to     information. (CVE-2015-1224, CVE-2015-1225)

  - A validation error exists in the debugger.
    (CVE-2015-1226)

  - Multiple uninitialized value errors exist in blink and     rendering. (CVE-2015-1227, CVE-2015-1228)

  - A cookie-injection vulnerability exists due to a failure     to properly handle a 407 HTTP status code accompanied by     a Set-Cookie header. (CVE-2015-1229)

  - Multiple, unspecified errors exist that allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-1231)

  - An out-of-bounds write flaw exists due to an array index     error in the DispatchSendMidiData() function that occurs     when handling a port index supplied by a renderer. A     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2015-1232)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper     interaction between the '1993 search' features and     restore-from-disk RELOAD transitions when Instant     Extended mode is used. A remote attacker can exploit     this to spoof the address bar for a search-results page.
    (CVE-2015-2239

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 41.0.2272.76. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as FREAK     (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), exists due to     the support of weak EXPORT_RSA cipher suites with keys     less than or equal to 512 bits. A man-in-the-middle     attacker may be able to downgrade the SSL/TLS connection     to use EXPORT_RSA cipher suites which can be factored in     a short amount of time, allowing the attacker to     intercept and decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-0204)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write errors exist in skia     filters and media. (CVE-2015-1212, CVE-2015-1213,     CVE-2015-1214, CVE-2015-1215)

    (CVE-2015-2239)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2521-1 advisory.

    Several out-of-bounds write bugs were discovered in Skia. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application     crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-1213,     CVE-2015-1214, CVE-2015-1215)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the V8 bindings 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-2015-1216)

    Multiple type confusion bugs were discovered in the V8 bindings in Blink. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1217, CVE-2015-1230)

    Multiple use-after-free bugs were discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in     to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1218, CVE-2015-1223)

    An integer overflow was discovered in Skia. 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 with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-1219)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the GIF image decoder 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-2015-1220)

    A use-after-free was discovered 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-2015-1221)

    Multiple use-after-free bugs were discovered in the service worker implementation in Chromium. If a user     were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to     cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user     invoking the program. (CVE-2015-1222)

    An out-of-bounds read was discovered in the VPX decoder implementation in Chromium. 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. (CVE-2015-1224)

    It was discovered that Blink did not initialize memory for image drawing in some circumstances. If a user     were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to read     uninitialized memory. (CVE-2015-1227)

    It was discovered that Blink did not initialize memory for a data structure in some circumstances. 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-2015-1228)

    It was discovered that a web proxy returning a 407 response could inject cookies in to the originally     requested domain. If a user connected to a malicious web proxy, an attacker could potentially exploit this     to conduct session-fixation attacks. (CVE-2015-1229)

    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-2015-1231)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in V8. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
