2 security fixes in this release, including :

- [770452] High CVE-2017-15396: Stack overflow in V8. Reported by Yuan Deng of Ant-financial Light-Year Security Lab on 2017-09-30

- [770450] Medium CVE-2017-15406: Stack overflow in V8. Reported by Yuan Deng of Ant-financial Light-Year Security Lab on 2017-09-30

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A stack buffer overflow in NumberingSystem in International Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ before     60.2, as used in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 62.0.3202.75 and other products, allowed a remote attacker     to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-15396)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3082 advisory.

  - , CVE-2017-15406 chromium-browser: stack overflow in v8 (CVE-2017-15396, CVE-2017-15406)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the chromium web browser.

In addition, this message serves as an annoucment that security support for chromium in the oldstable release (jessie), Debian 8, is now discontinued.

Debian 8 chromium users that desire continued security updates are strongly encouraged to upgrade now to the current stable release (stretch), Debian 9.

An alternative is to switch to the firefox browser, which will continue to receive security updates in jessie for some time.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201711-02 (Chromium, Google Chrome: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and Google       Chrome. Please review the referenced CVE identifier and Google Chrome       Releases for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attack may be able to execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of       Service condition, or have other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is prior to 62.0.3202.75, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An overflow condition exists in the 'NumberingSystem::createInstance()' function in 'i18n/numsys.cpp' that is triggered when handling locale strings with an overly long 'numbers' keyword value. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15406)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when handling keyword values, which are not NUL-terminated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-15396)
