Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Oxide vulnerabilities (USN-2495-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 81296

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A use-after-free bug was discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2015-1209)

It was discovered that V8 did not properly consider frame access restrictions when throwing exceptions in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions.
(CVE-2015-1210)

It was discovered that Chromium did not properly restrict the URI scheme during ServiceWorker registration. If a user were tricked in to downloading and opening a specially crafted HTML file, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions.
(CVE-2015-1211)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-1212).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
