Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.5.103.29. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_09_stable-channel-update advisory.

- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2015-1301)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the shared-timer implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging erroneous timer firing, related to ThreadTimers.cpp and Timer.cpp. (CVE-2015-1299)

- The ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild function in core/dom/ContainerNode.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85, does not check whether a node is expected, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy or cause a denial of service (DOM tree corruption) via a web site with crafted JavaScript code and IFRAME elements. (CVE-2015-1291)

- The NavigatorServiceWorker::serviceWorker function in modules/serviceworkers/NavigatorServiceWorker.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by accessing a Service Worker. (CVE-2015-1292)

- The DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-1293)

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 4.5.103.29 or later.
