critical Nessus Plugin ID 92792

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 52.0.2743.116. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_08_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

 - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-5146)

 - Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via vectors involving a provisional URL for an initially empty document, related to FrameLoader.cpp and ScopedPageLoadDeferrer.cpp. (CVE-2016-5141)

 - The Web Cryptography API (aka WebCrypto) implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, does not properly copy data buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code, related to NormalizeAlgorithm.cpp and SubtleCrypto.cpp. (CVE-2016-5142)

 - Multiple integer overflows in the opj_tcd_init_tile function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data. (CVE-2016-5139)

 - Heap-based buffer overflow in the opj_j2k_read_SQcd_SQcc function in j2k.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data. (CVE-2016-5140)

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.
