Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, failed to prevent alerts from being displayed by swapped out frames, which allowed a remote attacker to show alerts on a page they don't control via a crafted HTML page.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 56.0.2924.76. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2017_01_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

  - A use after free in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for     Android, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
    (CVE-2017-5019)

  - A heap buffer overflow in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and     56.0.2924.87 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted     HTML page. (CVE-2017-5012)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,     incorrectly handled the sequence of events when closing a page, which allowed a remote attacker to inject     arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5007)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,     incorrectly handled object owner relationships, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary     scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5006)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,     allowed attacker controlled JavaScript to be run during the invocation of a private script method, which     allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-66 (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, bypass security restrictions, or perform       cross-site scripting (XSS).
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 56.0.2924.76. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the     Document::shutdown() function in dom/Document.cpp due to     a failure to clear the owner's widget for a frame. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script     code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-5006)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the     Document::shutdown() function in dom/Document.cpp due to     a failure to properly suspend pages that are closing,     but not yet fully closed. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's     browser session. (CVE-2017-5007)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the     compileAndRunPrivateScript() function in     PrivateScriptRunner.cpp due to a failure to properly     protect private scripts. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's     browser session. (CVE-2017-5008)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the     UsingFlexibleMode() function in decoding_state.cc due to     improper handling of frames marked as using flexible     mode. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5009)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in     css/FontFace.cpp due to improper handling of FontFace     objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted request, to execute     arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
    (CVE-2017-5010)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Devtools component due to improper front-end URL     handling. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to disclose arbitrary files.
    (CVE-2017-5011)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Google V8 in     the SetupAllocatingData() function in objects.h that     occurs when failing to allocate array buffer contents.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5012)

  - A flaw exists in the ShouldFocusLocationBarByDefault()     function in ui/browser.cc that is triggered when     handling NTP navigations in non-selected tabs. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     spoof the address. (CVE-2017-5013)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Google Skia     due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5014)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in Omnibox that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof the address.
    (CVE-2017-5015)

  - A flaw exists in the updateVisibleValidationMessage()     function in html/HTMLFormControlElement.cpp related to     the form validation bubble being displayed for invisible     pages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to spoof the UI. (CVE-2017-5016)

  - An uninitialized memory access flaw exists in the webm     video processing implementation that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified     impact. (CVE-2017-5017)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the     App Launcher component due to a failure to properly     validate parameters. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to     execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser     session. (CVE-2017-5018)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the OnBeforeUnload()     function in render_frame_impl.cc. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-5019)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in     Blink due to a failure to properly validate input     related to chrome://downloads. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a     user's browser session. (CVE-2017-5020)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Extensions     component. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5021)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in     frame/csp/ContentSecurityPolicy.cpp that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the content     security policy (CSP). (CVE-2017-5022)

  - A type confusion flaw exists in the histogram collector     feature that is triggered when handling serialized     histograms. An unauthenticated remote attacker can     exploit this to crash the browser, resulting in a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-5023)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in FFmpeg in the     mov_read_uuid() function in libavformat/mov.c due to     improper handling of overly long UUIDs. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5024)

  - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in FFmpeg in the     mov_read_hdlr() function in libavformat/mov.c due to     improper validation of user-supplied input when handling     titles. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5025)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof the UI.
    (CVE-2017-5026)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in Blink that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the content     security policy. (CVE-2017-5027)
