- Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at the tip of the 4.3 branch (currently 4.3.61.21).

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 43.0.2357.65. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A Use-after-free memory error exists in the     SpeechRecognitionClient implementation that allows     remote attackers, using a crafted document, to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1251)

  - The Write() and DoWrite() methods of the class     PartialCircularBuffer do not properly handle wraps.
    A remote attacker, by using write operations with a     large amount of data, can exploit this to bypass the     sandbox protection or cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2015-1252)

  - The DOM implementation in Blink does not properly     handle SCRIPT elements during adjustment of DOM node     locations. A remote attacker, using crafted JavaScript     code that appends a child to a SCRIPT element, can     exploit this flaw to bypass the same origin policy.
    (CVE-2015-1253)

  - The 'core/dom/Document.cpp' in Blink enables the     inheritance of the 'designMode' attribute. A remote     attacker, using a crafted web page, can utilize this to     bypass the same origin policy via the availability of     editing. (CVE-2015-1254)

  - A use-after-free memory error exists in the WebAudio     implementation when handling the stop action for an     audio track. A remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1255)

  - A use-after-free memory error exists in the SVG     implementation in Blink, related to the improper     handling of a shadow tree for a use element. A remote     attacker, using a crafted document, can exploit this     to cause a denial of service or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1256)

  - The SVG implementation in Blink does not properly handle     an insufficient number of values in an feColorMatrix     filter. A remote attacker, using a crafted document, can     exploit this to cause a denial of service via a     container overflow. (CVE-2015-1257)

  - The libvpx library code was not compiled with an     appropriate '--size-limit' value. This allows a remote     attacker, using a crafted frame size in VP9 video data,     to trigger a negative value for a size field, thus     causing a denial of service or possibly having other     impact. (CVE-2015-1258)

  - Google PDFium does not properly initialize memory. A     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service or possibly have other unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2015-1259)

  - Multiple use-after-free memory errors exist the WebRTC     implementation. A remote attacker can exploit these, by     using a crafted JavaScript code that executes upon     completion of a getUserMedia request, to cause a denial     of service or possibly have other unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2015-1260)

  - The file 'HarfBuzzShaper.cpp' in Blink does not properly     initialize a certain width field. A remote attacker,     using crafted Unicode text, can exploit this to cause a     denial of service or have other unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2015-1262)

  - The Spellcheck API implementation does not use an HTTPS     session for downloading a Hunspell dictionary. A     man-in-the-middle attacker, using a crafted file, can     exploit this flaw to deliver incorrect spelling     suggestions or possibly have other unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2015-1263)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists that     is related to the Bookmarks feature. A remote attacker,     using crafted data, can exploit this to inject arbitrary     web script or HTML. (CVE-2015-1264)

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities exist that allow an     attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly have     other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2015-1265)

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

libvpx-1.3.0-7.fc21 - set --size-limit=16384x16384 to fix CVE-2015-1258 libvpx-1.3.0-7.fc22 - set --size-limit=16384x16384 to fix CVE-2015-1258 libvpx-1.4.0-5.fc23 - set --size-limit=16384x16384 to avoid CVE-2015-1258

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1023 advisory.

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

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content.
