Summary

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Google Chrome before 5.0.375.99 does not properly perform style rendering, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.375.99. It therefore is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An unspecified error allows an out-of-bounds read with WebGL. (Issue #42396) - An unspecified error exists in the process of isolating sandboxed iframes. (Issue #42575, #42980) - An unspecified memory corruption error exists in the handling invalid SVG images. (Issue #43488) - An unspecified memory corruption error exists in the implementation of a bidirectional algorithm. (Issue #44424) - An unspecified error in the processing of certain invalid images can lead to application crashes. (Issue #45164) - An unspecified memory corruption error exists in the processing of PNG images and can lead to application crashes. (Issue #45983) - An unspecified memory corruption error exists in the processing of CSS. (Issue #46360) - An unspecified error exists in the handling of print dialogs. (Issue #46575) - An unspecified error exists in the handling of modal dialogs and can lead to application crashes. (Issue #47056)

    descriptionA large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKit browser and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution. 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.
