Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 allows remote attackers to bypass the SafeBrowsing protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.

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 53.0.2785.113.

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-2016-5170, CVE-2016-5171, CVE-2016-5175, CVE-2016-5172, CVE-2016-5173, CVE-2016-5174)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 53.0.2785.113. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_09_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_13 advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 allow attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-5175)

  - WebKit/Source/bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before     53.0.2785.113, does not properly consider getter side effects during array key conversion, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted Indexed Database (aka IndexedDB) API calls. (CVE-2016-5170)

  - WebKit/Source/bindings/templates/interface.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113,     does not prevent certain constructor calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code. (CVE-2016-5171)

  - The parser in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113, mishandles scopes, which allows     remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from arbitrary memory locations via crafted JavaScript     code. (CVE-2016-5172)

  - The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.113 does not properly restrict access to     Object.prototype, which allows remote attackers to load unintended resources, and consequently trigger     unintended JavaScript function calls and bypass the Same Origin Policy via an indirect interception     attack. (CVE-2016-5173)

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