The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-16 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker       may be able to bypass security restrictions or have other, unspecified,       impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 24.0.1312.56 and is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists related to font     handling and canvas. (CVE-2013-0839)

  - An error exists related to URL validation and the     opening of new browser windows. (CVE-2013-0840)

  - An array index is not properly checked in relation to     content blocking. (CVE-2013-0841)

  - An unspecified error exists related to handling null     characters in embedded paths. (CVE-2013-0842)

Successful exploitation of some of these issues could lead to an application crash or even allow arbitrary code execution, subject to the user's privileges.
