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.

Chromium was updated to 54.0.2840.59 to fix security issues and bugs.

The following security issues are fixed (bnc#1004465) :

  - CVE-2016-5181: Universal XSS in Blink

  - The package now uses the system variants of some bundled     libraries

  - The hangouts extension is now built

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54.0.2840.59. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exists in     the Blink and Bookmarks components due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially     crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a     user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5181, CVE-2016-5191)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in Blink     due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5182)

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist in PDFium that     allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5183, CVE-2016-5184)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Blink that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-5185)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the DevTools     component that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2016-5186)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof URLs.
    (CVE-2016-5187, CVE-2016-5189)

  - An unspecified flaw exists related to the display of     drop-down menus that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to disguise user interface elements and conduct     spoofing attacks. (CVE-2016-5188)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Internals component     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5190)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in Blink that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass Cross-Origin     Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions. (CVE-2016-5192)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass schemes.
    (CVE-2016-5193)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Skia component     that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact     integrity. (CVE-2016-5194)

  - A flaw exists in FrameView.cpp due to improper handling     of orthogonal writing mode roots with floating siblings.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5194)

  - A flaw exists in permission_prompt_impl.cc due to     improper handling of permission bubbles. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted website performing timing attacks, to     obtain unintended permissions. (CVE-2016-5194)

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