The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1023 advisory.

    Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web     page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     Chromium. (CVE-2015-1251, CVE-2015-1252, CVE-2015-1253, CVE-2015-1254,     CVE-2015-1255, CVE-2015-1256, CVE-2015-1257, CVE-2015-1258, CVE-2015-1259,     CVE-2015-1260, CVE-2015-1261, CVE-2015-1262, CVE-2015-1263, CVE-2015-1264,     CVE-2015-1265)

    All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     Chromium version 43.0.2357.65, which corrects these issues. After     installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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