The Program::getUniformInternal function in Program.cpp in libANGLE, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.108, does not properly handle a certain data-type mismatch, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted shader stages.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201605-02 (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.

A use-after-free was discovered when responding synchronously to permission requests. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2016-1578)

An out-of-bounds read 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.
(CVE-2016-1646)

A use-after-free was discovered in the navigation implementation in Chromium 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 via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2016-1647)

A buffer overflow was discovered in ANGLE. 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 application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2016-1649)

An out-of-bounds write 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 renderer process. (CVE-2016-1653)

An invalid read was discovered in the media subsystem 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 application crash. (CVE-2016-1654)

It was discovered that frame removal during callback execution could trigger a use-after-free in Blink. 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 renderer process. (CVE-2016-1655)

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-2016-1659)

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-2016-3679).

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.

Chromium was updated to 49.0.2623.110 to fix the following security issues :

  - CVE-2016-1646: Out-of-bounds read in V8

  - CVE-2016-1647: Use-after-free in Navigation

  - CVE-2016-1648: Use-after-free in Extensions

  - CVE-2016-1649: Buffer overflow in libANGLE

  - CVE-2016-1650: Various fixes from internal audits,     fuzzing and other initiatives

  - CVE-2016-3679: Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at     the tip of the 4.9 branch (currently 4.9.385.33)

Google Chrome Releases reports :

[594574] High CVE-2016-1646: Out-of-bounds read in V8.

[590284] High CVE-2016-1647: Use-after-free in Navigation.

[590455] High CVE-2016-1648: Use-after-free in Extensions.

Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at the tip of the 4.9 branch

An update for chromium-browser is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Chromium is an open source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

This update upgrades Chromium to version 49.0.2623.108.

Security Fix(es) :

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-2016-1646, CVE-2016-1647, CVE-2016-1648, CVE-2016-1649, CVE-2016-1650)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2016-1646     Wen Xu discovered an out-of-bounds read issue in the v8     library.

  - CVE-2016-1647     A use-after-free issue was discovered.

  - CVE-2016-1648     A use-after-free issue was discovered in the handling of     extensions.

  - CVE-2016-1649     lokihardt discovered a buffer overflow issue in the     Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine (ANGLE) library.

  - CVE-2016-1650     The chrome development team found and fixed various     issues during internal auditing. Also multiple issues     were fixed in the v8 JavaScript library, version     4.9.385.33.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 49.0.2623.108. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in Google V8 that     allows an attacker to crash the application, resulting     in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1646)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Navigation     component that allows an attacker to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1647)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Extensions     component that allows an attacker to dereference already     freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-1648)

  - An overflow condition exists in libANGLE due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1649)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the pageCapture extension     that allows an attacker to have an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2016-1650)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in PDFium due     to improper handling of file names. An attacker can     exploit this to crash the application, resulting in a     denial of service.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 49.0.2623.108. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
