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 86.0.4240.183. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2020_11_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

 - Heap buffer overflow in UI in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 86.0.4240.183 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.

 - Insufficient data validation in installer in Google Chrome prior to 86.0.4240.183 allowed a local attacker to potentially elevate privilege via a crafted filesystem. (CVE-2020-16007)

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