The UnescapeURLWithAdjustmentsImpl implementation in net/base/escape.cc in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85 does not prevent display of Unicode LOCK characters in the omnibox, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof the SSL lock icon by placing one of these characters at the end of a URL, as demonstrated by the omnibox in localizations for right-to-left languages.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-09 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, or bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Chromium was updated to the 45.0.2454.85 of the stable channel to fix multiple security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-1291: Cross-origin bypass in DOM

  - CVE-2015-1292: Cross-origin bypass in ServiceWorker

  - CVE-2015-1293: Cross-origin bypass in DOM

  - CVE-2015-1294: Use-after-free in Skia

  - CVE-2015-1295: Use-after-free in Printing

  - CVE-2015-1296: Character spoofing in omnibox

  - CVE-2015-1297: Permission scoping error in WebRequest

  - CVE-2015-1298: URL validation error in extensions

  - CVE-2015-1299: Use-after-free in Blink

  - CVE-2015-1300: Information leak in Blink

  - CVE-2015-1301: Various fixes from internal audits,     fuzzing and other initiatives.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1712 advisory.

    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-2015-1291, CVE-2015-1292, CVE-2015-1293, CVE-2015-1294,     CVE-2015-1295, CVE-2015-1296, CVE-2015-1297, CVE-2015-1298, CVE-2015-1299,     CVE-2015-1300, CVE-2015-1301)

    All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     Chromium version 45.0.2454.85, which corrects these issues. After     installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take     effect.

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-2015-1291     A cross-origin bypass issue was discovered in DOM.

  - CVE-2015-1292     Mariusz Mlynski discovered a cross-origin bypass issue     in ServiceWorker.

  - CVE-2015-1293     Mariusz Mlynski discovered a cross-origin bypass issue     in DOM.

  - CVE-2015-1294     cloudfuzzer discovered a use-after-free issue in the     Skia graphics library.

  - CVE-2015-1295     A use-after-free issue was discovered in the printing     component.

  - CVE-2015-1296     zcorpan discovered a character spoofing issue.

  - CVE-2015-1297     Alexander Kashev discovered a permission scoping error.

  - CVE-2015-1298     Rob Wu discovered an error validating the URL of     extensions.

  - CVE-2015-1299     taro.suzuki.dev discovered a use-after-free issue in the     Blink/WebKit library.

  - CVE-2015-1300     cgvwzq discovered an information disclosure issue in the     Blink/WebKit library.

  - CVE-2015-1301     The chrome 45 development team found and fixed various     issues during internal auditing. Also multiple issues     were fixed in the libv8 library, version 4.5.103.29.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 45.0.2454.85. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild() function in     ContainerNode.cpp wherein user scripts may unexpectedly     run in 'onunload' handlers during Document Object Model     (DOM) modification. A remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted web page, to bypass cross-origin     restrictions. (CVE-2015-1291)

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the LocalDOMWindow::navigator() function in     LocalDOMWindow.cpp wherein an incorrect navigator     associated with a frame may be returned. A remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web     page, to bypass cross-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1292)

  - An unspecified cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists     that allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted     web page, to bypass cross-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1293)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the     SkMatrix::invertNonIdentity() function in SkMatrix.cpp.
    A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference     already freed memory, potentially resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1294)

  - A use-after-free error exists in     print_web_view_helper.cc that is triggered when handling     nested IPC handlers. A remote attacker can exploit this     to dereference already freed memory, potentially     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1295)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to a flaw that is     triggered when displaying a URL containing certain     characters in an omnibox. A remote attacker can exploit     this to include characters that may look like a padlock,     spoofing a secure connection. (CVE-2015-1296)

  - An unspecified flaw exists related to permission scoping     as requests in an extension are not hidden from other     extensions. (CVE-2015-1297)

  - An unspecified URL handling issue exists as the URL to     be opened after an extension is uninstalled is not     restricted to HTTP and HTTPS. (CVE-2015-1298)

  - A use-after-free error exists due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit     this to dereference already freed memory, potentially     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1299)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability     exists in Blink. (CVE-2015-1300)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist that allow an attacker     to have unspecified medium severity impact.
    (CVE-2015-1301)
