The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2345-1 advisory.

    Multiple use-after-free issues were discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via renderer     crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2014-3178,     CVE-2014-3190, CVE-2014-3191, CVE-2014-3192)

    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 with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2014-3179, CVE-2014-3200)

    It was discovered that Chromium did not properly handle the interaction of IPC and V8. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2014-3188)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the web workers implementation in Chromium. 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 applicatin crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2014-3194)

    It was discovered that V8 did not correctly handle Javascript heap allocations in some circumstances. If a     user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to     steal sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3195)

    It was discovered that Blink did not properly provide substitute data for pages blocked by the XSS     auditor. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafter website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to steal sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3197)

    It was discovered that the wrap function for Event's in the V8 bindings in Blink produced an erroneous     result in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service by stopping a worker process that was     handling an Event object. (CVE-2014-3199)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in V8. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2014-7967)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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