Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that the upstream security fixes in USN-764-1 introduced a regression which could cause the browser to crash. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
