The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3091-1 advisory.

    A use-after-free was discovered in the V8 bindings 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     application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5170)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the V8 bindings 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     application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5171)

    An issue was discovered in V8. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to ontain sensitive information from arbitrary memory locations.
    (CVE-2016-5172)

    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. (CVE-2016-5175, CVE-2016-5178)

    A use-after-free was discovered in V8. 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. (CVE-2016-5177)

    It was discovered that Chromium does not ensure the recipient of a certain IPC message is a valid     RenderFrame or RenderWidget. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via     application crash, or execute arbitary code. (CVE-2016-7549)

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201610-09 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 53.0.2785.113. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in the file     bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp that allows     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-5170)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Blink that is related     to window constructors being callable. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5171)

  - An arbitrary memory read error exists in V8 that allows     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose     sensitive memory information. (CVE-2016-5172)

  - A flaw exists due to improper handling of specially     crafted web pages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to load JavaScript extension resources,     which may then be used to perform unauthorized actions.
    (CVE-2016-5173)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when in fullscreen mode,     in file ui/cocoa/browser_window_controller_private.mm,     that results in a failure to suppress popups.
    (CVE-2016-5174)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to     impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
    (CVE-2016-5175)

  - A flaw exists due to improper handling of IPC messages     for dead routing IDs. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-5175)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the     SafeBrowsing protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-5176)

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

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 53.0.2785.113. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
