WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or     cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1778)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

 - HTTPProtocol
 - IOHIDFamily
 - Kernel
 - LaunchServices
 - libxml2
 - Messages
 - Profiles
 - Security
 - TrueTypeScaler
