  - Drop the build of the Native Client. This is actually     not a build as that prebuild binaries are being shipped.
    Also Google no longer provides prebuild binaries for the     NativeClient for 32bit. Chromium as webbrowser is not     affected by this and it bring Chromium inline with the     regulations that prebuild binaries should not be     shipped.

  - toolchaing_linux tarball dropped

  - Spec-file cleaned for NaCl stuff

  - Added patch no-clang-on-packman.diff to prevent the     usage of clang on packman, which is not supported there

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-13 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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 Critical 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-2014-3188, CVE-2014-3189, CVE-2014-3190, CVE-2014-3191, CVE-2014-3192, CVE-2014-3193, CVE-2014-3194, CVE-2014-3199, CVE-2014-3200)

Several information leak flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to disclose potentially sensitive information.
(CVE-2014-3195, CVE-2014-3197, CVE-2014-3198)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 38.0.2125.101, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

    (CVE-2013-2871)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2345-1 advisory.

    Multiple use-after-free issues were discovered 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-2014-3178,     CVE-2014-3190, CVE-2014-3191, CVE-2014-3192)

    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-2014-3179, CVE-2014-3200)

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly handle the interaction of IPC and V8. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-3188)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the web workers 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 applicatin crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2014-3194)

    It was discovered that V8 did not correctly handle Javascript heap allocations in some circumstances. If a     user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to     steal sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3195)

    It was discovered that Blink did not properly provide substitute data for pages blocked by the XSS     auditor. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafter website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to steal sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3197)

    It was discovered that the wrap function for Event's in the V8 bindings in Blink produced an erroneous     result 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 by stopping a worker process that was     handling an Event object. (CVE-2014-3199)

    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.
    (CVE-2014-7967)

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 one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - WebKit: Improper handling of data types from event objects (CVE-2010-4205)

  - webkitgtk: heap-based buffer overflow (WSA-2015-0001) (CVE-2014-1303)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and     Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving HTML document subtrees. (CVE-2010-1761)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
