Google Chrome < 2.0.172.37 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 39852

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.0.172.37. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple issues :

- A heap overflow exists when evaluating specially crafted regular expressions in JavaScript. This could lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code within the Google Chrome sandbox. (Issue 14719)

- A memory corruption issue exists in the renderer process that could cause a denial of service or possibly allow arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the logged on user. (CVE-2009-2556)

- Creating a Select object with a very large length can result in memory exhaustion, causing a denial of service.

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 2.0.172.37 or later.
