Use after free in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 132.0.6834.159 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202507-07 (Chromium, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge.
Opera: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and its derivatives. Please review the CVE     identifiers referenced below for details.

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

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

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved checks to prevent unauthorized actions. This
    issue is fixed in Safari 18.3.1, iOS 15.8.4 and iPadOS 15.8.4, iOS 16.7.11 and iPadOS 16.7.11, iOS 18.3.2
    and iPadOS 18.3.2, iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, visionOS 2.3.2, watchOS 11.4. Maliciously crafted
    web content may be able to break out of Web Content sandbox. This is a supplementary fix for an attack
    that was blocked in iOS 17.2. (Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an
    extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 17.2.).
    (CVE-2025-24201)

  - 7-Zip Zstandard Decompression Integer Underflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability
    allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip. Interaction with
    this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the
    implementation. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of Zstandard decompression. The issue
    results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer underflow
    before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of
    the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24346. (CVE-2024-11477)

  - Out of bounds memory access in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 131.0.6778.204 allowed a remote attacker to
    execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
    (CVE-2024-12693)

  - Use after free in Compositing in Google Chrome prior to 131.0.6778.204 allowed a remote attacker to
    potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
    (CVE-2024-12694)

  - xsltGetInheritedNsList in libxslt before 1.1.43 has a use-after-free issue related to exclusion of result
    prefixes. (CVE-2024-55549)
