The Zone::New function in zone.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.47, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not properly determine when to expand certain memory allocations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0336 advisory.

The version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 8.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Node.js component of the Xcode Server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

This update brings the new upstream nodejs LTS version 4.6.0, fixing bugs and security issues :

  - Nodejs embedded openssl version update

  + upgrade to 1.0.2j (CVE-2016-6304, CVE-2016-2183,     CVE-2016-2178, CVE-2016-6306, CVE-2016-7052)

  + remove support for dynamic 3rd party engine modules

- http: Properly validate for allowable characters in input user data. This introduces a new case where throw may occur when configuring HTTP responses, users should already be adopting try/catch here.
  (CVE-2016-5325, bsc#985201)

  - tls: properly validate wildcard certificates     (CVE-2016-7099, bsc#1001652)

  - buffer: Zero-fill excess bytes in new Buffer objects     created with Buffer.concat()

fix for CVE-2016-1669, fix for builtin reporting, add provides for v8-314

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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 50.0.2661.102.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple 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-2016-1667, CVE-2016-1668, CVE-2016-1669, CVE-2016-1670)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 50.0.2661.102. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists in DOM due to     scripts being permitted run while a node is being     adopted. A context-dependent attacker can exploit this     to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-1667)

    (CVE-2016-1669)

  - A race condition exists in the loader related to the use     of ids. An attacker can exploit this to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-1670)
