descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 6.0.472.53. It therefore is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - It is possible to bypass the pop-up blocker with a blank frame target . (Issue #34414) - It is possible to visually spoof the URL bar with homographic sequences. (Issue #37201) - Restrictions on setting clipboard content are not strict enough. (Issue #41654) - A stale pointer exists with SVG filters. (Issue #45659) - It may be possible to enumerate installed extensions. (Issue #45876) - An unspecified vulnerability in WebSockets could lead to a browser NULL crash. (Issue #46750, #51846) - A use-after-free error exists in the Notifications presenter. (Issue #50386) - An unspecified memory corruption issue exists in Notification permissions. (Issue #50839) - Multiple unspecified integer errors exist in WebSockets. (Issue #51360, #51739) - A memory corruption issue exists with counter nodes. (Issue #51653) - Chrome may store an excessive amount of autocomplete entries. (Issue #51727) - A stale pointer exists in focus handling. (Issue #52443) - A Sandbox parameter deserialization error exists. (Issue #52682) - An unspecified cross-origin image theft issue exists. (Issue #53001)
