high Nessus Plugin ID 89786

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 49.0.2623.87. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A type confusion error exists in the Blink rendering engine that allows a remote attacker, via a malicious website, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1643)

- A use-after-free error exists in the Blink rendering engine that allows a remote attacker, via a malicious website, to deference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1644)

- An out-of-bounds write error exists in PDFium, the PDF rendering library, that allows a remote attacker to manipulate the system memory, resulting the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1645)

Solution

Upgrade to Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.87 or later.
