The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2960-1 advisory.

    An out of bounds write was discovered 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. (CVE-2016-1660)

    It was discovered that Blink assumes that a frame which passes same-origin checks is local in some cases.
    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. (CVE-2016-1661)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the V8 bindings 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. (CVE-2016-1663)

    It was discovered that the JSGenericLowering class in V8 mishandles comparison operators. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain     sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1665)

    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. (CVE-2016-1666)

    It was discovered that the TreeScope::adoptIfNeeded function in Blink does not prevent script execution     during node-adoption operations. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1667)

    It was discovered that the forEachForBinding in the V8 bindings in Blink uses an improper creation     context. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1668)

    A buffer overflow 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. (CVE-2016-1669)

    A race condition was discovered in ResourceDispatcherHostImpl in Chromium. An attacker could potentially     exploit this to make arbitrary HTTP requests. (CVE-2016-1670)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Chromium was updated to 50.0.2661.102 to fix four vulnerabilities (boo#979859) :

  - CVE-2016-1667: Same origin bypass in DOM

  - CVE-2016-1668: Same origin bypass in Blink V8 bindings

  - CVE-2016-1669: Buffer overflow in V8

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.

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 macOS host is prior to 50.0.2661.102. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_05_stable-channel-update advisory.

  - 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. (CVE-2016-1669)

  - The TreeScope::adoptIfNeeded function in WebKit/Source/core/dom/TreeScope.cpp in the DOM implementation in     Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not prevent script execution during node-     adoption operations, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web     site. (CVE-2016-1667)

  - The forEachForBinding function in WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/Iterable.h in the V8 bindings in Blink,     as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, uses an improper creation context, which allows remote     attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1668)

  - Race condition in the ResourceDispatcherHostImpl::BeginRequest function in     content/browser/loader/resource_dispatcher_host_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 allows     remote attackers to make arbitrary HTTP requests by leveraging access to a renderer process and reusing a     request ID. (CVE-2016-1670)

  - Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 on Android mishandles / (slash) and \ (backslash) characters, which     allows attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks via a file: URL, related to net/base/escape.cc and     net/base/filename_util.cc. (CVE-2016-1671)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

  - The forEachForBinding function in WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/Iterable.h in the V8 bindings in Blink,     as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, uses an improper creation context, which allows remote     attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1668)

  - Race condition in the ResourceDispatcherHostImpl::BeginRequest function in     content/browser/loader/resource_dispatcher_host_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102 allows     remote attackers to make arbitrary HTTP requests by leveraging access to a renderer process and reusing a     request ID.
