Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-07 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web site using Chromium, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, arbitrary file write, a Denial of Service condition, Cross-Site Scripting in SSL interstitial and various Universal Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
