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 10.3.2 is affected. Safari before 10.1.1 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-2017-2544)

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 10.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the history menu     functionality. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-2495)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the WebKit     component due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     these issues, by convincing a user to visit a specially     crafted website, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-2496, CVE-2017-2505, CVE-2017-2506,     CVE-2017-2514, CVE-2017-2515, CVE-2017-2521,     CVE-2017-2525, CVE-2017-2526, CVE-2017-2530,     CVE-2017-2531, CVE-2017-2538, CVE-2017-2539,     CVE-2017-2544, CVE-2017-2547, CVE-2017-6980,     CVE-2017-6984)

  - Multiple universal cross-site scripting (XSS)     vulnerabilities exist in WebKit due to improper handling     of WebKit Editor commands, container nodes, pageshow     events, frame loading, and cached frames. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted web page, to execute arbitrary script     code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-2504,     CVE-2017-2508, CVE-2017-2510, CVE-2017-2528,     CVE-2017-2549)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in WebKit that allow     an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt memory     and execute arbitrary code by using specially crafted     web content. (CVE-2017-2536)
