Description

The version of Google Chrome on the remote host is prior to 48.0.2564.82 and is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An unspecified vulnerability exists in Google V8 when handling compatible receiver checks hidden behind receptors. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1612)
- A use-after-free error exists in 'PDFium' due to improper invalidation of 'IPWL_FocusHandler' and 'IPWL_Provider' upon destruction. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1613)
- An unspecified vulnerability exists in 'Blink' that is related to the handling of bitmaps. An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1614)
- An unspecified vulnerability exists in 'omnibox' that is related to origin confusion. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1615)
- An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to spoof a displayed URL. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1616)
- An unspecified vulnerability exists that is related to history sniffing with HSTS and CSP. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1617)
- A flaw exists in 'Blink' due to the weak generation of random numbers by the ARC4-based random number generator. An attacker can exploit this to gain access to sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1618)
- An out-of-bounds read error exists in 'PDFium' in file 'fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp' in the 'sycc4{22,44}_to_rgb()' functions. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service by crashing the application linked using the library. (CVE-2016-1619)
- Multiple vulnerabilities exist, the most serious of which allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page. (CVE-2016-1620)
- A flaw in 'objects.cc' is triggered when handling cleared 'WeakCells', which may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-2051)
