The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201502-13 (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 cause a Denial of Service condition,       gain privileges via a filesystem: URI, or have other unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is a version prior to 40.0.2214.91 and is thus missing fixes for the following vulnerabilities :

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists due to an error in Fonts. (CVE-2014-7938)
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist due to an error in ICU. (CVE-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7926)
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist due to an error in V8. (CVE-2014-7927, CVE-2014-7928, CVE-2014-7931)
  - A same-origin policy bypass vulnerability exists due to an error in v8. (CVE-2014-7939)
  - A security vulnerability occurs due to an uninitialized value in Fonts. (CVE-2014-7942)
  - A security vulnerability occurs due to an uninitialized value in ICU. (CVE-2014-7940)
  - A security bypass vulnerability occurs due to caching error in AppCache. (CVE-2014-7948)
  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist due to an error in DOM. (CVE-2014-7929, CVE-2014-7930, CVE-2014-7932, CVE-2014-7934)
  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist due to an error in FFmpeg. (CVE-2014-7933, CVE-2014-7937)
  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists due to an error in IndexedDB. (CVE-2014-7924)
  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists due to an error in Speech. (CVE-2014-7935)
  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists due to an error in Views. (CVE-2014-7936)
  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists due to an error in WebAudio. (CVE-2014-7925)
  - Multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities exist due to an error in PDFium. (CVE-2014-7944, CVE-2014-7945)
  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists due to an error in Fonts. (CVE-2014-7946)
  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists due to an error in PDFium. (CVE-2014-7947)
  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists due to an error in Skia. (CVE-2014-7943)
  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists due to an error in UI. (CVE-2014-7941)
  - A flaw in the ScopedClipboard destructor in 'remoting/host/clipboard_win.cc' that is triggered as the CloseClipboard() API is not called with an anonymous access token. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to to bypass sandbox restrictions via an impersonation of the access token used by a system process. (CVE-2015-1205)
  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities affecting Google V8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or other unknown impacts. (CVE-2015-1346)
  - Multiple off-by-one errors in 'fpdfapi/fpdf_font/font_int.h' in PDFium. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document, related to an 'intra-object-overflow' issue. (CVE-2015-1359)
  - A flaw in Skia due to improperly handling data during text drawing could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. This affects 'gpu/GrBitmapTextContext.cpp' and 'gpu/GrDistanceFieldTextContext.cpp'. (CVE-2015-1360)

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 Important 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-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7924, CVE-2014-7925, CVE-2014-7926, CVE-2014-7927, CVE-2014-7928, CVE-2014-7929, CVE-2014-7930, CVE-2014-7931, CVE-2014-7932, CVE-2014-7933, CVE-2014-7934, CVE-2014-7935, CVE-2014-7936, CVE-2014-7937, CVE-2014-7938, CVE-2014-7939, CVE-2014-7940, CVE-2014-7941, CVE-2014-7942, CVE-2014-7943, CVE-2014-7944, CVE-2014-7945, CVE-2014-7946, CVE-2014-7947, CVE-2014-7948)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 40.0.2214.91, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Several memory corruption bugs were discovered in ICU. 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-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7926)

(CVE-2014-7924)

A use-after free was discovered in the WebAudio implementation in Blink.

Multiple off-by-one errors were discovered in FFmpeg. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-7937)

A memory corruption bug was discovered in the fonts implementation.

(CVE-2014-7938)

It was discovered that ICU did not initialize memory for a data structure correctly. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-7940)

It was discovered that the fonts implementation did not initialize memory for a data structure correctly. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-7942)

It was discovered that the AppCache proceeded with caching for SSL sessions even if there is a certificate error. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this by conducting a MITM attack to modify HTML application content. (CVE-2014-7948)

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-2015-1205)

Multiple security issues were discovered in V8.
