Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 57.0.2987.133. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2017_03_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_29 advisory.

 - An out-of-bounds read in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.133 for Linux, Windows, and Mac, and 57.0.2987.132 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page, related to Array.prototype.indexOf. (CVE-2017-5053)

 - An out-of-bounds read in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.133 for Linux, Windows, and Mac, and 57.0.2987.132 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to obtain heap memory contents via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5054)

 - An incorrect assumption about block structure in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.133 for Mac, Windows, and Linux, and 57.0.2987.132 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit memory corruption via a crafted HTML page that triggers improper casting. (CVE-2017-5052)

 - A use after free in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.133 for Linux, Windows, and Mac, and 57.0.2987.132 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5056)
