The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 51.0.2704.103. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the individualCharacterRanges()     function in CachingWordShaper.cpp that is triggered when     handling invalid glyph shaping results. A remote     attacker can exploit this issue to corrupt memory,     resulting in the execution of code.

  - A use-after-free error exists in the OnChannelMessage()     function in node_channel.cc that allows a remote     attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting     in the execution of arbitrary code.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in     shared_worker_devtools_manager.cc that allows a remote     attacker to have an unspecified impact.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1262 advisory.

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

    This update upgrades Chromium to version 51.0.2704.103.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious     content could cause Chromium to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when     visited by the victim. (CVE-2016-1704)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 51.0.2704.103. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the individualCharacterRanges()     function in CachingWordShaper.cpp that is triggered when     handling invalid glyph shaping results. A remote     attacker can exploit this issue to corrupt memory,     resulting in the execution of code.

  - A use-after-free error exists in the OnChannelMessage()     function in node_channel.cc that allows a remote     attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting     in the execution of arbitrary code.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in     shared_worker_devtools_manager.cc that allows a remote     attacker to have an unspecified impact.

Google Chrome Releases reports :

3 security fixes in this release, including :

- [620742] CVE-2016-1704: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3015-1 advisory.

    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-2016-1704)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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