The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2676 advisory.

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

    This update upgrades Chromium to version 61.0.3163.79.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious     content could cause Chromium to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when     visited by the victim. (CVE-2017-5111, CVE-2017-5112, CVE-2017-5113, CVE-2017-5114, CVE-2017-5115,     CVE-2017-5116, CVE-2017-5117, CVE-2017-5118, CVE-2017-5119, CVE-2017-5120)

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.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2017-5111     Luat Nguyen discovered a use-after-free issue in the     pdfium library.

  - CVE-2017-5112     Tobias Klein discovered a buffer overflow issue in the     webgl library.

  - CVE-2017-5113     A buffer overflow issue was discovered in the skia     library.

  - CVE-2017-5114     Ke Liu discovered a memory issue in the pdfium library.

  - CVE-2017-5115     Marco Giovannini discovered a type confusion issue in     the v8 JavaScript library.

  - CVE-2017-5116     Guang Gong discovered a type confusion issue in the v8     JavaScript library.

  - CVE-2017-5117     Tobias Klein discovered an uninitialized value in the     skia library.

  - CVE-2017-5118     WenXu Wu discovered a way to bypass the Content Security     Policy.

  - CVE-2017-5119     Another uninitialized value was discovered in the skia     library.

  - CVE-2017-5120     Xiaoyin Liu discovered a way downgrade HTTPS connections     during redirection.

  - CVE-2017-5121     Jordan Rabet discovered an out-of-bounds memory access     in the v8 JavaScript library.

  - CVE-2017-5122     Choongwoo Han discovered an out-of-bounds memory access     in the v8 JavaScript library.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 61.0.3163.79. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in PDFium. A unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5111)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in WebGL that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5112)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Skia that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5113)

  - An unspecified memory lifecycle issue exists in PDFium that allow     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact     (CVE-2017-5114)

  - An unspecified type confusion errors exist in V8.
    (CVE-2017-5115, CVE-2017-5116)

  - An unspecified uninitialized value flaws exist in Skia that allows     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2017-5117, CVE-2017-5119)

  - An unspecified security bypass vulnerability exists in Blink. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass     content security policy. (CVE-2017-5118)

  - An unspecified flaw allows HTTPS downgrade during redirection.
    (CVE-2017-5120)

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

This update for chromium to version 61.0.3163.79 fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5111: Use after free in PDFium (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5115: Type confusion in V8 (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5116: Type confusion in V8 (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5117: Use of uninitialized value in Skia     (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5118: Bypass of Content Security Policy in     Blink (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5119: Use of uninitialized value in Skia     (boo#1057364).

  - CVE-2017-5120: Potential HTTPS downgrade during redirect     navigation (boo#1057364).

    (CVE-2017-5111)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in WebGL that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5112)
