Critical CVE-2015-6765: Use-after-free in AppCache.The rest of the vulnerabilities are a collection of cross-origin bypass bugs, overflow bugs, and out of bounds access bugs:
The most pressing issue, a use-after-free bug in AppCache, was branded critical and net one anonymous security researcher $10,000. Google also pushed out the latest stable version of Chrome this week, Chrome 47, addressing 41 security bugs. In November, the company announced it would end Chrome support for Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 in April 2016, because none are actively supported by Microsoft or Apple, and running the browser on any of the operating systems could make users more susceptible to viruses and malware.
The move is the latest by Google to bring Chrome up to date, ensuring it runs on a contemporary, secure platform.
Pranke is encouraging users who run the Precise version of Ubuntu to upgrade to the more up to date Trusty version. Pranke claims that Google still plans on supporting the Chromium source code – upon which Chrome is based – for 32-bit build configurations on Linux. Pranke clarified that while Google is doing away with Chrome for 32-bit versions of Linux, it won’t entirely spurn the more avid Linux users who run it through their distribution’s software repositories. Specifically Google plans to stop pushing updates and security fixes to those running Chrome on 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu Precise 12.04, and Debian 7. Most computers manufactured in the last 10 years come complete with 64-bit processors, so it’s likely the move has been in the works for some time.ĭirk Pranke, a software engineer with Google, explained the company’s plan in a post to Chromium’s dev mailing group on Monday, and confirmed support would end in early March 2016. Google announced this week it will end Chrome support for older, 32-bit Linux distributions early next year and will maintain the browser on more popular distributions of the software.
