The SerializedScriptValue::transferArrayBuffers function in WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/SerializedScriptValue.cpp in the V8 bindings in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, mishandles certain array-buffer data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2960-1 advisory.

    An out of bounds write was discovered 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. (CVE-2016-1660)

    It was discovered that Blink assumes that a frame which passes same-origin checks is local in some cases.
    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. (CVE-2016-1661)

    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     renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1663)

    It was discovered that the JSGenericLowering class in V8 mishandles comparison operators. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain     sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1665)

    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-2016-1666)

    It was discovered that the TreeScope::adoptIfNeeded function in Blink does not prevent script execution     during node-adoption operations. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an     attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1667)

    It was discovered that the forEachForBinding in the V8 bindings in Blink uses an improper creation     context. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1668)

    A buffer overflow 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 renderer crash, or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1669)

    A race condition was discovered in ResourceDispatcherHostImpl in Chromium. An attacker could potentially     exploit this to make arbitrary HTTP requests. (CVE-2016-1670)

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 version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 50.0.2661.94. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_04_stable-channel-update_28 advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94 allow attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1666)

  - extensions/renderer/gc_callback.cc in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94 does not prevent fallback     execution once the Garbage Collection callback has started, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
    (CVE-2016-1662)

  - Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, mishandles assertions in the WTF::BitArray and     WTF::double_conversion::Vector classes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-     of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1660)

  - Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, does not ensure that frames satisfy a check for the     same renderer process in addition to a Same Origin Policy check, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site,     related to BindingSecurity.cpp and DOMWindow.cpp. (CVE-2016-1661)

  - The SerializedScriptValue::transferArrayBuffers function in     WebKit/Source/bindings/core/v8/SerializedScriptValue.cpp in the V8 bindings in Blink, as used in Google     Chrome before 50.0.2661.94, mishandles certain array-buffer data structures, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web     site. (CVE-2016-1663)
