The Google V8 engine, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and QtWebEngineCore in Qt before 5.5.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The Google V8 engine, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and QtWebEngineCore in Qt before 5.5.1,     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a     crafted web site. (CVE-2015-1290)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Qt 5 was updated to the 5.5.1 release to deliver upstream improvements and fixes to Qt functionality.

The following Security fixes are contained in QtWebEngineCore :

  - ICU: CVE-2014-8146, CVE-2014-8147

  - Blink: CVE-2015-1284, CVE-2015-1291, CVE-2015-1292

  - Skia: CVE-2015-1294

  - V8: CVE-2015-1290

The following packages were rebuilt because they use private headers :

  - calibre

  - fcitx-qt5

  - frameworkintegration

  - kwayland

  - kwin5,

  - lxqt-powermanagement

  - lxqt-qtplugin

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 44.0.2403.89. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_07_stable-channel-update_21 advisory.

  - The Google V8 engine, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and QtWebEngineCore in Qt before 5.5.1,     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a     crafted web site. (CVE-2015-1290)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in content/browser/indexed_db/indexed_db_backing_store.cc in the IndexedDB     implementation in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging an abort action before a certain write operation.
    (CVE-2015-1276)

  - PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89, does not properly handle certain out-of-memory     conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document that triggers a large memory allocation.
    (CVE-2015-1271)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in j2k.c in OpenJPEG before r3002, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before     44.0.2403.89, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via invalid JPEG2000 data in a PDF document. (CVE-2015-1273)

  - Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 does not ensure that the auto-open list omits all dangerous file types,     which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted file and     leveraging a user's previous Always open files of this type choice, related to download_commands.cc and     download_prefs.cc. (CVE-2015-1274)

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