Other important changes include :

  - Based on Chromium 56.0.2924.122 with security fixes from     Chromium up to version 58.0.3029.96. (5.8.0 was based on     Chromium 53.0.2785.148 with security fixes from Chromium     up to version 55.0.2883.75.)

  - [QTBUG-54650, QTBUG-59922] Accessibility is now disabled     by default on Linux, like it is in Chrome, due to poor     options for enabling it conditionally and its heavy     performance impact. Set the environment variable     `QTWEBENGINE_ENABLE_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY` to enable it     again.

  - [QTBUG-56531] Enabled `filesystem:` protocol handler.

  - [QTBUG-57720] Optimized incremental scene-graph     rendering in particular for software rendering.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201704-02 (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.

Google Chrome Releases reports :

36 security fixes in this release

Please reference CVE/URL list for details

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 57.0.2987.98. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow condition condition exists in     libxslt in the xsltAddTextString() function in     transform.c due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to cause an out-of-bounds write error, resulting in     the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5029)

  - A flaw exists in Google V8 in the ArrayConcatVisitor     class in builtins-array.cc due to improper handling of     JSProxy species. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5030)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the ANGLE component due     to improper handling of buffer storage operations. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5031)

  - An overflow condition exists in Google PDFium in the     GetTextRunInfo() function in pdfium_page.cc that is     triggered when processing text runs. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted PDF file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5032)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the     initContentSecurityPolicy() function in Document.cpp due     to local schemes not inheriting the content security     policy. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to bypass the content security policy.
    (CVE-2017-5033)

  - A flaw exists in the OpenJPEG component in the     m_mct_records() function in j2k.c due to improper     handling of specially crafted JPEG2000 files. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-5034)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the     RendererDidNavigateToExistingPage() function in     navigation_controller_impl.cc that occurs when handling     data from the renderer process. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified     impact on the security UI. (CVE-2017-5035)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Google PDFium in the     Document class in Document.h due to improper handling of     'm_Icons' properties. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed     memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5036)

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exists in the     TrackFragmentRun::Parse() function in box_definitions.cc     due to improper parsing of track fragments in MP4     content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5037)

  - An unspecified use-after-free error occurs when     GuestView objects inherit the prototypes from the global     JS object. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5038)

  - A use-after-free error exists in Google PDFium in the     GlobalTimer() function in app.cpp due to improper     handling of timers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5039)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in Google V8 that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2017-5040)

  - A flaw exists in the Omnibox address bar that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof an address.
    (CVE-2017-5041)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Cast feature that is     triggered when handling cookies. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified     impact. (CVE-2017-5042)

  - A use-after-free error exists in     guest_view_internal_custom_bindings.cc due to improper     handling of the GuestViewContainer pointer during a     GuestView attach operation. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5043)

  - A heap-based overflow condition exists in Google Skia     that occurs when deserializing SkRegion objects. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5044)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the XSS auditor that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose     sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5045)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in interface_base.cpp.tmpl     that occurs when handling author scripts interacting     with Symbol.toPrimitive properties of Location objects.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5046)

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