Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, does not ensure that a taint property is preserved after a structure-clone operation on an ImageBitmap object derived from a cross-origin image, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via crafted JavaScript code.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201610-09 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Chromium web       browser. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, or bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3058-1 advisory.

Chromium is an open source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

This update upgrades Chromium to version 52.0.2743.116.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple 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-2016-5139, CVE-2016-5140, CVE-2016-5141, CVE-2016-5142, CVE-2016-5146, CVE-2016-5143, CVE-2016-5144, CVE-2016-5145)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 52.0.2743.116. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An overflow condition exists in PDFium due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based     buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-5139)

  - An overflow condition exists in OpenJPEG due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based     buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-5140)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when nested message     loops access documents without generating a     notification. An attacker can exploit this to spoof the     address bar. (CVE-2016-5141)

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to     dereference already freed memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5142)

  - A flaw exists in the sanitizeRemoteFrontendUrl()     function in devtools.js due to a failure to properly     sanitize input parameters. An attacker can exploit this     to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5143)

  - A flaw exists in the loadScriptsPromise() function in     Runtime.js due to a failure to properly sanitize input     parameters. An attacker can exploit this to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5144)

  - A flaw exists due to improper handling of specially     crafted images. An attacker can exploit this to bypass     the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5145)

  - Multiple unspecified high and medium severity     vulnerabilities exist, including an overflow condition     in WebRTC due to improper validation user-supplied input     when handling RTP packets. An attacker can exploit this     to cause a denial of service condition or the execution     of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5146)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
