The libwebkit browser engine version 1.2.3 fixes several security relevant bugs

(CVE-2010-1386, CVE-2010-1392, CVE-2010-1405, CVE-2010-1407, CVE-2010-1416, CVE-2010-1417, CVE-2010-1665, CVE-2010-1418, CVE-2010-1421, CVE-2010-1422, CVE-2010-1501, CVE-2010-1767, CVE-2010-1664, CVE-2010-1758, CVE-2010-1759, CVE-2010-1760, CVE-2010-1761, CVE-2010-1762, CVE-2010-1770, CVE-2010-1771, CVE-2010-1772, CVE-2010-1773, CVE-2010-1774)

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.375.70.  As such, it is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-origin keystroke redirection vulnerability.
    (Issue #15766)

  - A cross-origin bypass in DOM methods. (Issue #39985)

  - A memory error exists in table layout. (Issue #42723)

  - It is possible to escape the sandbox in Linux.
    (Issue #43304)

  - A stale pointer exists in bitmap. (Issue #43307)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in DOM node     normalization. (Issue #43315)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in text     transforms. (Issue #43487)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the     innerHTML property of textarea. (Issue #43902)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in font     handling. (Issue #44740)

  - Geolocation events fire after document deletion.
    (Issue #44868)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the     rendering of list markers. (Issue #44955)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - WebKit: use-after-free vulnerability in handling of attribute manipulation (CVE-2010-1119)

  - WebKit: off-by-one memory read out of bounds vulnerability in handling of HTML lists (CVE-2010-1773)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and     Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (application crash) via vectors related to the contentEditable attribute and removing     container elements. (CVE-2010-1396)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
