critical Nessus Plugin ID 63232

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 23.0.1271.97 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Use-after-free errors exist related to visibility events and the URL loader. (CVE-2012-5139, CVE-2012-5140)

- An unspecified error exists related to instantiation of the 'Chromoting' client plugin. (CVE-2012-5141)

- The bundled version of Adobe Flash Player contains flaws that can lead to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2012-5676, CVE-2012-5677, CVE-2012-5678)

Successful exploitation of some of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 23.0.1271.97 or later.
