  - CVE-2017-15429: UXSS in V8 (bsc#1072976)

  - Various fuzzing fixes

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

  - Inappropriate implementation in V8 WebAssembly JS bindings in Google Chrome prior to 63.0.3239.108 allowed     a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-15429)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is prior to 63.0.3239.108, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists that allows a universal cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists exists because the program does not validate input before returning it to users. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A use-after-free error exists in the 'DnsTransactionImpl::MakeTCPAttempt()' function in 'net/dns/dns_transaction.cc' that is triggered when handling DNS responses. This that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
