The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3058-1 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in Blink involving the provisional URL for an initially empty document. An     attacker could potentially exploit this to spoof the currently displayed URL. (CVE-2016-5141)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the WebCrypto implementation 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 application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5142)

    It was discovered that the devtools subsystem in Blink mishandles various parameters. An attacker could     exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2016-5143, CVE-2016-5144)

    It was discovered that Blink does not ensure that a taint property is preserved after a structure-clone     operation on an ImageBitmap object derived from a cross-origin image. If a user were tricked in to opening     a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin     restrictions. (CVE-2016-5145)

    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-2016-5146, CVE-2016-5167)

    It was discovered that Blink mishandles deferred page loads. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5147)

    An issue was discovered in Blink related to widget updates. If a user were tricked in to opening a     specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5148)

    A use-after-free 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 application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5150)

    A use-after-free 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 application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5153)

    It was discovered that Chromium does not correctly validate access to the initial document. An attacker     could potentially exploit this to spoof the currently displayed URL. (CVE-2016-5155)

    A use-after-free was discovered in the event 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     application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5156)

    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 application crash, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5161)

    An issue was discovered with the devtools implementation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to     conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5164)

    An issue was discovered with the devtools implementation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to     conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-5165)

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 Windows host is prior to 53.0.2785.89. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_08_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_31 advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before     53.0.2785.92 on Linux allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via     unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-5167)

  - Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux,     mishandles deferred page loads, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a     crafted web site, aka Universal XSS (UXSS). (CVE-2016-5147)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows     and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML     via vectors related to widget updates, aka Universal XSS (UXSS). (CVE-2016-5148)

  - The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92     on Linux relies on an IFRAME source URL to identify an associated extension, which allows remote attackers     to conduct extension-bindings injection attacks by leveraging script access to a resource that initially     has the about:blank URL. (CVE-2016-5149)

  - WebKit/Source/bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before     53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, has an Indexed Database (aka IndexedDB)     API implementation that does not properly restrict key-path evaluation, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     JavaScript code that leverages certain side effects. (CVE-2016-5150)

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