The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 45.0.2454.85. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild() function in     ContainerNode.cpp wherein user scripts may unexpectedly     run in 'onunload' handlers during Document Object Model     (DOM) modification. A remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted web page, to bypass cross-origin     restrictions. (CVE-2015-1291)

  - A cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the LocalDOMWindow::navigator() function in     LocalDOMWindow.cpp wherein an incorrect navigator     associated with a frame may be returned. A remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web     page, to bypass cross-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1292)

  - An unspecified cross-origin bypass vulnerability exists     that allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted     web page, to bypass cross-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1293)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the     SkMatrix::invertNonIdentity() function in SkMatrix.cpp.
    A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference     already freed memory, potentially resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1294)

  - A use-after-free error exists in     print_web_view_helper.cc that is triggered when handling     nested IPC handlers. A remote attacker can exploit this     to dereference already freed memory, potentially     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1295)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to a flaw that is     triggered when displaying a URL containing certain     characters in an omnibox. A remote attacker can exploit     this to include characters that may look like a padlock,     spoofing a secure connection. (CVE-2015-1296)

  - An unspecified flaw exists related to permission scoping     as requests in an extension are not hidden from other     extensions. (CVE-2015-1297)

  - An unspecified URL handling issue exists as the URL to     be opened after an extension is uninstalled is not     restricted to HTTP and HTTPS. (CVE-2015-1298)

  - A use-after-free error exists due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit     this to dereference already freed memory, potentially     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1299)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability     exists in Blink. (CVE-2015-1300)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist that allow an attacker     to have unspecified medium severity impact.
    (CVE-2015-1301)

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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-2015-1291, CVE-2015-1292, CVE-2015-1293, CVE-2015-1294, CVE-2015-1295, CVE-2015-1296, CVE-2015-1297, CVE-2015-1298, CVE-2015-1299, CVE-2015-1300, CVE-2015-1301)

All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 45.0.2454.85, which corrects these issues.
After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-09 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Chromium web       browser. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, or bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2735-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the DOM tree could be corrupted during parsing 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 or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-1291)

    An issue was discovered in NavigatorServiceWorker::serviceWorker in Blink. If a user were tricked in to     opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin     restrictions. (CVE-2015-1292)

    An issue was discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-1293)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Skia. 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-2015-1294)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the shared-timer 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-2015-1299)

    It was discovered that the availability of iframe Resource Timing API times was not properly restricted in     some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2015-1300)

    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-2015-1301)

    A heap corruption issue was discovered in oxide::JavaScriptDialogManager. 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-2015-1332)

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.
