    descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 57.0.2987.133. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A type cast error exists in Blink in the LayoutInline::absoluteVisualRect() function within file layout/LayoutInline.cpp that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an unspecified impact. (CVE-2017-5052) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in V8 in the IndexOfValueImpl() function template within file builtins/builtins-array.cc when handling arrays. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory content. (CVE-2017-5053) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in V8 that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5054) - A use-after-free error exists in the PrintViewManager class within file printing/print_view_manager.cc when handling previews.

Other important changes include : - Based on Chromium 56.0.2924.122 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 58.0.3029.96. (5.8.0 was based on Chromium 53.0.2785.148 with security fixes from Chromium up to version 55.0.2883.75.) - [QTBUG-54650, QTBUG-59922] Accessibility is now disabled by default on Linux, like it is in Chrome, due to poor options for enabling it conditionally and its heavy performance impact. Set the environment variable `QTWEBENGINE_ENABLE_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY` to enable it again. - [QTBUG-56531] Enabled `filesystem:` protocol handler. - [QTBUG-57720] Optimized incremental scene-graph rendering in particular for software rendering. - [QTBUG-60049] Enabled brotli support. - Many bug fixes, see https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/dist/cha nges-5.9.0?h=5.9 for details. In addition, this build includes a fix for https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61521 , a binary incompatibility in QtWebEngine 5.9.0 compared to 5.8.0. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
