The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201507-18 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2652-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly consider the scheme when determining whether a URL is     associated with a WebUI SiteInstance. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2015-1266)

    It was discovered that Blink did not properly restrict the creation context during creation of a DOM     wrapper. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-1267, CVE-2015-1268)

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly canonicalize DNS hostnames before comparing to HSTS or     HPKP preload entries. An attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1269)

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.

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-2015-1266, CVE-2015-1267, CVE-2015-1268, CVE-2015-1269)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 43.0.2357.130, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2015-1266     Intended access restrictions could be bypassed for     certain URLs like chrome://gpu.

  - CVE-2015-1279     mlafon discovered a buffer overflow in the pdfium     library.

  - CVE-2015-1280     cloudfuzzer discovered a memory corruption issue in the     SKIA library.

  - CVE-2015-1281     Masato Knugawa discovered a way to bypass the Content     Security Policy.

  - CVE-2015-1282     Chamal de Silva discovered multiple use-after-free     issues in the pdfium library.

  - CVE-2015-1283     Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered a buffer overflow in the     expat library.

  - CVE-2015-1284     Atte Kettunen discovered that the maximum number of page     frames was not correctly checked.

  - CVE-2015-1285     gazheyes discovered an information leak in the XSS     auditor, which normally helps to prevent certain classes     of cross-site scripting problems.

  - CVE-2015-1286     A cross-site scripting issue was discovered in the     interface to the v8 JavaScript library.

  - CVE-2015-1287     filedescriptor discovered a way to bypass the Same     Origin Policy.

  - CVE-2015-1288     Mike Ruddy discovered that the spellchecking     dictionaries could still be downloaded over plain HTTP     (related to CVE-2015-1263 ).

  - CVE-2015-1289     The chrome 44 development team found and fixed various     issues during internal auditing.

In addition to the above issues, Google disabled the hotword extension by default in this version, which if enabled downloads files without the user's intervention.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 43.0.2357.130. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A scheme validation error exists in WebUI. A remote     attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2015-1266)

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due     to an unspecified flaw that is triggered when handling     the creation context passed through public APIs. A     remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the     cross-origin policy. (CVE-2015-1267)

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists in Blink due     to an unspecified flaw in its V8 bindings. A remote     attacker can exploit this to bypass the cross-origin     policy. (CVE-2015-1268)

  - A normalization bypass vulnerability exists in the     HSTS/HPKP preload list. A remote attacker can exploit     this to bypass HSTS/HPKP preloads and have a connection     use HTTP instead of the expected HTTPS. (CVE-2015-1269)

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