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

  - The Page Loading implementation in WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 mishandles HTTP     responses with a 3xx (aka redirection) status code, which allows remote attackers to spoof the displayed     URL, bypass the Same Origin Policy, and obtain sensitive cached information via a crafted web site.
    (CVE-2016-1786)

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

The mobile device is running a version of iOS prior to version 9.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - AppleUSBNetworking
  - FontParser
  - HTTPProtocol
  - IOHIDFamily
  - Kernel
  - LaunchServices
  - libxml2
  - Messages
  - Profiles
  - Security
  - TrueTypeScaler
  - WebKit
  - Wi-Fi

The version of Safari installed on the remote host is prior or equal to 9.0.3, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

 - Libxml2 (2016-1762)
 - Safari (CVE-2009-2197)
 - Safari Downloads (CVE-2016-1771)

 - WebKit History (CVE-2016-1784)
 - WebKit Page Loading (CVE-2016-1785, CVE-2016-1786)

The remote host is running a version of iOS that is prior to version 9.3 and the following components contain vulnerabilities :

 - AppleUSBNetworking

 - HTTPProtocol
 - IOHIDFamily
 - Kernel
 - LaunchServices
 - libxml2
 - Messages
