The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2770-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ContainerNode::parserInsertBefore in Blink would incorrectly proceed with a DOM     tree insertion in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-6755)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the service worker 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 application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2015-6757)

    It was discovered that Blink did not ensure that the origin of LocalStorage resources are considered     unique. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2015-6759)

    A race condition and memory corruption 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     renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2015-6761)

    It was discovered that CSSFontFaceSrcValue::fetch in Blink did not use CORS in some circumstances. If a     user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to     bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-6762)

    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-2015-6763)

    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-2015-7834)

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.
