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

  - An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. Safari before 10.1 is     affected. The issue involves mishandling of OpenGL shaders in the WebKit component. It allows remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web site. (CVE-2017-2424)

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

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in WebKit when     handling certain JavaScript code. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition or the disclosure of memory contents.
    (CVE-2016-9642)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in WebKit when     handling certain regular expressions. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted web page, to exhaust available memory     resources. (CVE-2016-9643)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist     in WebKit when handling page loading due to improper     validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit these to disclose data     cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2364, CVE-2017-2367)

  - An unspecified state management flaw exists that allows     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof the address     bar. (CVE-2017-2376)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Web     Inspector component when closing a window while the     debugger is paused. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to terminate the application.
    (CVE-2017-2377)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in WebKit when creating     bookmarks using drag-and-drop due to improper validation     of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to spoof     bookmarks or potentially execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-2378)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Login AutofFill component that allows a local attacker     to access keychain items. (CVE-2017-2385)

  - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist     in WebKit when handling unspecified exceptions or     elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit these, via specially crafted web content, to     disclose data cross-origin. (CVE-2017-2386,     CVE-2017-2479, CVE-2017-2480)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the handling of HTTP     authentication that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to disclose authentication sheets on arbitrary     websites or cause a denial of service condition.

  - A universal cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability     exists in WebKit when handling frame objects due to     improper validation of certain input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted web content, to execute arbitrary     script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-2445)

  - A flaw exists in WebKit due to non-strict mode functions     that are called from built-in strict mode scripts not     being properly restricted from calling sensitive native     functions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2446)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201709-03 (WebKitGTK+: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in WebkitGTK+. Please       review the references below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code via crafted web content.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 10.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in multiple components, the majority of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these remote code execution vulnerabilities by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The affected components are as follows :

  - Accounts
  - Audio
  - Carbon
  - CoreGraphics
  - CoreText
  - DataAccess
  - FontParser
