The version of iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 10.3, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified state management flaw exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to spoof the address bar. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2017-2376)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the handling of HTTP authentication. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to display authentication sheets on arbitrary web sites and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-2389)
 - A flaw exists in the password-protected PDF export feature that is triggered as a weak encryption algorithm is used. This may allow an attacker with access to a password-protected document to potentially disclose the document content. (CVE-2017-2391)
 - A flaw exists in the 'SecKeyRawVerify()' function that is triggered as parameters are not properly validated during the handling of cryptographic API calls. This may allow a remote attacker to have an empty signature be accepted as valid. (CVE-2017-2423)

Additional flaws exist in the following components :

 - Carbon (CVE-2017-2379)
 - CoreGraphics (CVE-2017-2417)

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X version 10.x prior to 10.12.4 , and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A format string flaw exists that is triggered as string format specifiers (e.g. %s and %x) are not properly used when handling IPP(S) links. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2403)
 - A flaw exists in the 'SecKeyRawVerify()' function that is triggered as parameters are not properly validated during the handling of cryptographic API call. This may allow a remote attacker to have an empty signature be accepted as valid. (CVE-2017-2423)
 - A type confusion flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when parsing specially crafted M4A audio files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2430)
 - A use-after-free flaw exists in 'libc++' that is triggered when demangling C++ applications. This may allow a malicious application to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2441)
 - A flaw exists as OTR packets are not properly validated. By spoofing the TLS/SSL server via a packet that appears valid, an attacker with the ability to intercept network traffic (e.g. MitM, DNS cache poisoning) can disclose and optionally manipulate transmitted data. (CVE-2017-2448)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when parsing specially crafted M4A audio files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2462)
 - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when parsing X.509 certificates. This may allow a context dependent-attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2485)

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.

  - Carbon
  - CoreGraphics
  - CoreText
  - DataAccess
  - FontParser
  - HomeKit
  - HTTPProtocol
  - ImageIO
  - iTunes Store
  - JavaScriptCore
  - Kernel

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-15 (WebKitGTK+: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in WebKitGTK+. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attack can use multiple vectors to execute arbitrary code or       cause a denial of service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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 the WebKit component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code     or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site.
    (CVE-2017-2457)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3257-1 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.

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:
