critical Nessus Plugin ID 82826

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 42.0.2311.90. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_04_stable-channel-update_14 advisory.

 - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2015-1249)

 - Use-after-free vulnerability in the OpenPDFInReaderView::Update function in browser/ui/views/location_bar/open_pdf_in_reader_view.cc in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 might allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering interaction with a PDFium Open PDF in Reader button that has an invalid tab association. (CVE-2015-1245)

 - The ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild function in core/dom/ContainerNode.cpp in the HTML parser in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted HTML document with an IFRAME element. (CVE-2015-1235)

 - The MediaElementAudioSourceNode::process function in modules/webaudio/MediaElementAudioSourceNode.cpp in the Web Audio API implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive audio sample values via a crafted web site containing a media element. (CVE-2015-1236)

 - Use-after-free vulnerability in the RenderFrameImpl::OnMessageReceived function in content/renderer/render_frame_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger renderer IPC messages during a detach operation. (CVE-2015-1237)

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 42.0.2311.90 or later.
