Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 80.0.3987.122. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2020_02_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_24 advisory.

- Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 80.0.3987.122 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6418)

- Out of bounds memory access in streams in Google Chrome prior to 80.0.3987.122 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6407)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 80.0.3987.122 or later.
