The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 4.9.385.26. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_03_stable-channel-update advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75 allow attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1642)

  - The ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild function in WebKit/Source/core/dom/ContainerNode.cpp in Blink, as     used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75, mishandles widget updates, which makes it easier for remote     attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1630)

  - The PPB_Flash_MessageLoop_Impl::InternalRun function in     content/renderer/pepper/ppb_flash_message_loop_impl.cc in the Pepper plugin in Google Chrome before     49.0.2623.75 mishandles nested message loops, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin     Policy via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1631)

  - The Extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75 does not properly maintain own properties,     which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted JavaScript code that     triggers an incorrect cast, related to extensions/renderer/v8_helpers.h and gin/converter.h.
    (CVE-2016-1632)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
    (CVE-2016-1633)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2920-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the ContainerNode::parserRemoveChild function in Blink mishandled widget updates in     some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-1630)

    It was discovered that the PPB_Flash_MessageLoop_Impl::InternalRun

    function in Chromium mishandled nested message loops. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions.
    (CVE-2016-1631)

    Multiple use-after-frees were discovered in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via renderer     crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2016-1633,     CVE-2016-1634, CVE-2016-1644)

    It was discovered that the PendingScript::notifyFinished function in Blink relied on memory-cache     information about integrity-check occurrences instead of integrity-check successes. If a user were tricked     in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass     Subresource Integrity (SRI) protections. (CVE-2016-1636)

    It was discovered that the SkATan2_255 function in Skia mishandled arctangent calculations. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain     sensitive information. (CVE-2016-1637)

    A use-after-free was discovered in Chromium. 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 with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2016-1641)

    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 with the privileges of the user invoking the     program. (CVE-2016-1642)

    A type-confusion bug 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 with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2016-1643)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in V8. 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 renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process.
    (CVE-2016-2843)

    An invalid cast 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 with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. (CVE-2016-2844)

    It was discovered that the Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation in Blink did not ignore a URL's     path component in the case of a ServiceWorker fetch. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2016-2845)

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.
