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 4.1.0.21. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_03_stable-channel-update advisory.

- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in core/html/HTMLInputElement.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger extraneous change events, as demonstrated by events for invalid input or input to read-only fields, related to the initializeTypeInParsing and updateType functions. (CVE-2015-1223)

- Array index error in the MidiManagerUsb::DispatchSendMidiData function in media/midi/midi_manager_usb.cc in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging renderer access to provide an invalid port index that triggers an out-of-bounds write operation, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1212. (CVE-2015-1232)

- The SkBitmap::ReadRawPixels function in core/SkBitmap.cpp in the filters implementation in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger an out-of-bounds write operation. (CVE-2015-1213)

- Integer overflow in the SkAutoSTArray implementation in include/core/SkTemplates.h in the filters implementation in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger a reset action with a large count value, leading to an out-of-bounds write operation. (CVE-2015-1214)

- The filters implementation in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger an out-of- bounds write operation. (CVE-2015-1215)

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 4.1.0.21 or later.
