Google Chrome < 0.2.149.29 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 34197

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 0.2.149.29. Such versions are reportedly affected by several issues :

- A buffer overflow involving long filenames that display in the 'Save As...' dialog could lead to arbitrary code execution (Issue #1414).

- A buffer overflow in handling of link targets displayed in the status area when a user hovers over a link could lead to arbitrary code execution (Fix #1797).

- An out-of-bounds memory read when parsing URLs ending in ':%' could cause the application itself to crash (Issue #122).

- The default Downloads directory is set to Desktop, which could lead to malicious cluttering of the desktop with unwanted downloads and even execution of arbitrary programs (Fix #17933).

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome 0.2.149.29.
