The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3133-1 advisory.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information,     cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5198, CVE-2016-5200,     CVE-2016-5202)

    A heap-corruption issue was discovered in FFmpeg. 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-2016-5199)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54.0.2840.98. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     FFmpeg component due to an integer overflow condition in     the mov_read_keys() function in mov.c caused by improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to visit a website containing specially crafted content,     to cause a denial of service condition or the execution     of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5199)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the V8     component due to an out-of-bounds read error that is     triggered when handling 'Math.sign'. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to visit a website containing specially crafted content,     to crash the browser or disclose memory contents.
    (CVE-2016-5200)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a     flaw in the expose() function in utils.js. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a website containing     specially crafted content, to disclose sensitive     internal class information. (CVE-2016-5201)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the     PruneExpiredDevices() function in dial_registry.cc that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5202)

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