"The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 46.0.2490.71. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2015_10_stable-channel-update advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 46.0.2490.71 allow attackers to cause a
    denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2015-6763)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in content/browser/service_worker/embedded_worker_instance.cc in the
    ServiceWorker implementation in Google Chrome before 46.0.2490.71 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging object destruction in a
    callback. (CVE-2015-6757)

  - The ContainerNode::parserInsertBefore function in core/dom/ContainerNode.cpp in Blink, as used in Google
    Chrome before 46.0.2490.71, proceeds with a DOM tree insertion in certain cases where a parent node no
    longer contains a child node, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via crafted
    JavaScript code. (CVE-2015-6755)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the CPDFSDK_PageView implementation in fpdfsdk/src/fsdk_mgr.cpp in PDFium,
    as used in Google Chrome before 46.0.2490.71, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap
    memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging mishandling of a focused
    annotation in a PDF document. (CVE-2015-6756)

  - The CPDF_Document::GetPage function in fpdfapi/fpdf_parser/fpdf_parser_document.cpp in PDFium, as used in
    Google Chrome before 46.0.2490.71, does not properly perform a cast of a dictionary object, which allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF
    document. (CVE-2015-6758)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
