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

  - CFNetwork in Apple iOS before 10 and OS X before 10.12 mishandles Local Storage deletion, which allows     local users to discover the visited web sites of arbitrary users via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-4707)

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

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is prior to 10.10.5, 10.11.x prior to 10.11.6, or is not macOS 10.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - apache
  - apache_mod_php
  - Apple HSSPI Support
  - AppleEFIRuntime
  - AppleMobileFileIntegrity
  - AppleUCC
  - Application Firewall
  - ATS
  - Audio
  - Bluetooth
  - cd9660
  - CFNetwork
  - CommonCrypto
  - CoreCrypto
  - CoreDisplay
  - curl
  - Date & Time Pref Pane
  - DiskArbitration
  - File Bookmark
  - FontParser
  - IDS - Connectivity
  - ImageIO
  - Intel Graphics Driver
  - IOAcceleratorFamily
  - IOThunderboltFamily
  - Kerberos v5 PAM module
  - Kernel
  - libarchive
  - libxml2
  - libxpc
  - libxslt
  - mDNSResponder
  - NSSecureTextField
  - Perl
  - S2 Camera
  - Security
  - Terminal
  - WindowServer

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3166-1 advisory.

    A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web and JavaScript engines. If a user     were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related     to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary     code execution.

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.
