Google Chrome < 42.0.2311.135 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 83136

Language:

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 42.0.2311.135. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_04_stable-channel-update_28 advisory.

- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.135 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2015-1250)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the MutationObserver::disconnect function in core/dom/MutationObserver.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.135, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an attempt to unregister a MutationObserver object that is not currently registered. (CVE-2015-1243)

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 42.0.2311.135 or later.
