Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 37.0.2062.94. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Blink contains a use-after-free vulnerability in its SVG implementation. By using a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3168)

- Blink contains a use-after-free vulnerability in its DOM implementation. By using a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3169)

- A flaw exists in the 'url_pattern.cc' file that does not prevent the use of NULL characters '\0' in a host name.
A remote attacker can use this to spoof the extension permission dialogue by relying on truncation after this character. (CVE-2014-3170)

- Blink contains a use-after-free vulnerability in its V8 bindings. By using improper HashMap add operations, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3171)

- The Debugger extension API does not properly a validate a tab's URL before attaching. A remote attacker can therefore bypass access limitations by means of an extension that uses a restricted URL. (CVE-2014-3172)

- A flaw exists in the WebGL implementation where clear calls do not interact properly with the draw buffer. By using a specially crafted CANVAS element, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3173)

- A flaw exists in the Blink Web Audio API implementation in how it updates biquad filter coefficients when there are concurrent threads. By using specially crafted API calls, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-3174)

- Flaws exist in the 'load_truetype_glyph' function and other unspecified functions which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or other impact. (CVE-2014-3175)

- Flaws exist related to the interaction of the IPC, Sync API, and V8 extensions. A remote attacker can exploit these to bypass the sandbox and execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-3176, CVE-2014-3177)

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 37.0.2062.94 or later.
