Google Chrome < 46.0.2490.86 Vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86852

Language:

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 46.0.2490.86. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 2015_11_stable-channel-update advisory.

- The PDF viewer in Google Chrome before 46.0.2490.86 does not properly restrict scripting messages and API exposure, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via an unintended embedder or unintended plugin loading, related to pdf.js and out_of_process_instance.cc. (CVE-2015-1302)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 46.0.2490.86 or later.
