The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2610-1 advisory.

    Several security issues were discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to bypass Same Origin     Policy restrictions. (CVE-2015-1253, CVE-2015-1254)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the WebAudio 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 renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1255)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the SVG 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     renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-1256)

    A security issue was discovered in the SVG 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     renderer crash. (CVE-2015-1257)

    An issue was discovered with the build of libvpx. 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 renderer crash, or     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2015-1258)

    Multiple use-after-free issues were discovered in the WebRTC implementation in Chromium. 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-2015-1260)

    An uninitialized value bug was discovered in the font shaping code 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 renderer crash. (CVE-2015-1262)

    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-2015-1265)

    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-2015-3910)

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.
