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.

    An issue was discovered in Blink involving the provisional URL for an initially empty document. An     attacker could potentially exploit this to spoof the currently displayed URL. (CVE-2016-5141)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the WebCrypto implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of     service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5142)

    It was discovered that the devtools subsystem in Blink mishandles various parameters. An attacker could     exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2016-5143, CVE-2016-5144)

    It was discovered that Blink does not ensure that a taint property is preserved after a structure-clone     operation on an ImageBitmap object derived from a cross-origin image. If a user were tricked in to opening     a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin     restrictions. (CVE-2016-5145)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial     of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5146, CVE-2016-5167)

    It was discovered that Blink mishandles deferred page loads. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5147)

    An issue was discovered in Blink related to widget updates. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5148)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5150)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5153)

    It was discovered that Chromium does not correctly validate access to the initial document. An attacker     could potentially exploit this to spoof the currently displayed URL. (CVE-2016-5155)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the event bindings in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via     application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5156)

    A type confusion bug was discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted     website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5161)

    An issue was discovered with the devtools implementation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to     conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5164)

    An issue was discovered with the devtools implementation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to     conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5165)
