Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.120 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.

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).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201409-06 (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 cause a Denial of Service condition or       possibly have other unspecified impact by leveraging improper handling of       render-tree inconsistencies.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Google Chrome Releases reports :

4 security fixes in this release, including :

- [401362] High CVE-2014-3178: Use-after-free in rendering. Credit to miaubiz.

- [411014] CVE-2014-3179: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 37.0.2062.120. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists related to rendering that     allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-3178)

  - Unspecified errors exist having unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2014-3179)

Note that the following issues exist due to the version of Adobe Flash bundled with the application :

  - Unspecified memory corruption issues exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0547, CVE-2014-0549,     CVE-2014-0550, CVE-2014-0551, CVE-2014-0552,     CVE-2014-0555)

  - An unspecified error exists that allows cross-origin     policy violations. (CVE-2014-0548)

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2014-0553)

  - An unspecified error exists that allows an unspecified     security bypass. (CVE-2014-0554)

  - Unspecified errors exist that allow memory leaks leading     to easier defeat of memory address randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0557)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow errors exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0556, CVE-2014-0559)
