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 54.0.2840.59. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_10_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

- Unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 54.0.2840.59. (CVE-2016-5194)

- Blink in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux; 54.0.2840.85 for Android permitted execution of v8 microtasks while the DOM was in an inconsistent state, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via crafted HTML pages. (CVE-2016-5181)

- Blink in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux; 54.0.2840.85 for Android had insufficient validation in bitmap handling, which allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted HTML pages. (CVE-2016-5182)

- A heap use after free in PDFium in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux;
54.0.2840.85 for Android allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted PDF files. (CVE-2016-5183)

- PDFium in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.59 for Windows, Mac, and Linux; 54.0.2840.85 for Android incorrectly handled object lifecycles in CFFL_FormFillter::KillFocusForAnnot, which allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted PDF files. (CVE-2016-5184)

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 54.0.2840.59 or later.
