GLSA-201603-09

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 48.0.2564.82 to fix security issues and bugs.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-1612: Bad cast in V8 (boo#963184)

  - CVE-2016-1613: Use-after-free in PDFium (boo#963185)

  - CVE-2016-1614: Information leak in Blink (boo#963186)

  - CVE-2016-1615: Origin confusion in Omnibox (boo#963187)

  - CVE-2016-1616: URL Spoofing (boo#963188)

  - CVE-2016-1617: History sniffing with HSTS and CSP     (boo#963189)

  - CVE-2016-1618: Weak random number generator in Blink     (boo#963190)

  - CVE-2016-1619: Out-of-bounds read in PDFium (boo#963191)

  - CVE-2016-1620 chromium-browser: various fixes     (boo#963192)

This update also enables SSE2 support on x86_64, VA-API hardware acceleration and fixes a crash when trying to enable the Chromecast extension.

The version of Google Chrome on the remote host is prior to 48.0.2564.82 and is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified vulnerability exists in Google V8 when handling compatible receiver checks hidden behind receptors.  An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1612)
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'PDFium' due to improper invalidation of 'IPWL_FocusHandler' and 'IPWL_Provider' upon destruction.  An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1613)
 - An unspecified vulnerability exists in 'Blink' that is related to the handling of bitmaps.  An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1614)
 - An unspecified vulnerability exists in 'omnibox' that is related to origin confusion.  An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1615)
 - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to spoof a displayed URL.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1616)
 - An unspecified vulnerability exists that is related to history sniffing with HSTS and CSP. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1617)
 - A flaw exists in 'Blink' due to the weak generation of random numbers by the ARC4-based random number generator.  An attacker can exploit this to gain access to sensitive information.  No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1618)
 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in 'PDFium' in file 'fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp' in the 'sycc4{22,44}_to_rgb()' functions. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service by crashing the application linked using the library. (CVE-2016-1619)
 - Multiple vulnerabilities exist, the most serious of which allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page. (CVE-2016-1620)
 - A flaw in 'objects.cc' is triggered when handling cleared 'WeakCells', which may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-2051)

A bad cast was discovered in V8. 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-2016-1612)

An issue was discovered when initializing the UnacceleratedImageBufferSurface class in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-1614)

An issue was discovered with the CSP implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to determine whether specific HSTS sites had been visited by reading a CSP report. (CVE-2016-1617)

An issue was discovered with random number generator in Blink. An attacker could potentially exploit this to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms. (CVE-2016-1618)

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-2016-1620)

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-2016-2051)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Harfbuzz. 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-2016-2052).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the victim. (CVE-2016-1612, CVE-2016-1613, CVE-2016-1614, CVE-2016-1615, CVE-2016-1616, CVE-2016-1617, CVE-2016-1618, CVE-2016-1619, CVE-2016-1620, CVE-2016-2051, CVE-2016-2052)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 48.0.2564.82, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2015-6792     An issue was found in the handling of MIDI files.

  - CVE-2016-1612     cloudfuzzer discovered a logic error related to receiver     compatibility in the v8 JavaScript library.
