Google Chrome < 52.0.2743.116 Multiple Vulnerabilities

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 52.0.2743.116. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An overflow condition exists in PDFium due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-5139)

- An overflow condition exists in OpenJPEG due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-5140)

- A flaw exists that is triggered when nested message loops access documents without generating a notification. An attacker can exploit this to spoof the address bar. (CVE-2016-5141)

- A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5142)

- A flaw exists in the sanitizeRemoteFrontendUrl() function in devtools.js due to a failure to properly sanitize input parameters. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5143)

- A flaw exists in the loadScriptsPromise() function in Runtime.js due to a failure to properly sanitize input parameters. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5144)

- A flaw exists due to improper handling of specially crafted images. An attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5145)

- Multiple unspecified high and medium severity vulnerabilities exist, including an overflow condition in WebRTC due to improper validation user-supplied input when handling RTP packets. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5146)

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 52.0.2743.116 or later.
