    descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 48.0.2564.82. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A unspecified vulnerability exists in Google V8 when handling compatible receiver checks hidden behind receptors. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1612) - A user-after-free error exists in PDFium due to improper invalidation of IPWL_FocusHandler and IPWL_Provider upon destruction. An attacker can exploit this to deference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1613) - An unspecified vulnerability exists in Blink that is related to the handling of bitmaps. An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1614) - An unspecified vulnerability exists in omnibox that is related to origin confusion. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1615) - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to spoof a displayed URL. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1616) - An unspecified vulnerability exists that is related to history sniffing with HSTS and CSP. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1617) - A flaw exists in Blink due to the weak generation of random numbers by the ARC4-based random number generator. An attacker can exploit this to gain access to sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1618) - A out-of-bounds read error exists in PDFium in file fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in the sycc4{22,44}_to_rgb() functions. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service by crashing the application linked using the library. (CVE-2016-1619) - Multiple vulnerabilities exist, the most serious of which allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page. (CVE-2016-1620)

    descriptionUpdated chromium-browser packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Chromium is an open source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink). Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the victim. (CVE-2016-1612, CVE-2016-1613, CVE-2016-1614, CVE-2016-1615, CVE-2016-1616, CVE-2016-1617, CVE-2016-1618, CVE-2016-1619, CVE-2016-1620, CVE-2016-2051, CVE-2016-2052) All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 48.0.2564.82, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
