The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 54.0.2840.99. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     FFmpeg component due to an integer overflow condition in     the mov_read_keys() function in mov.c caused by improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to visit a website containing specially crafted content,     to cause a denial of service condition or the execution     of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5199)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the V8     component due to an out-of-bounds read error that is     triggered when handling 'Math.sign'. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to visit a website containing specially crafted content,     to crash the browser or disclose memory contents.
    (CVE-2016-5200)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a     flaw in the expose() function in utils.js. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a website containing     specially crafted content, to disclose sensitive     internal class information. (CVE-2016-5201)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the     PruneExpiredDevices() function in dial_registry.cc that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an     unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5202)

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 Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54.0.2840.98. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     FFmpeg component due to an integer overflow condition in     the mov_read_keys() function in mov.c caused by improper     validation of user-supplied input.

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5198, CVE-2016-5200, CVE-2016-5202)

A heap-corruption issue was discovered in FFmpeg. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5199).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
