"The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.8.271.17. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_01_stable-channel-update_20 advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82 allow attackers to cause a
    denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-1620)

  - The LoadIC::UpdateCaches function in ic/ic.cc in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82,
    does not ensure receiver compatibility before performing a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via crafted JavaScript
    code. (CVE-2016-1612)

  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the formfiller implementation in PDFium, as used in Google
    Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document, related to improper tracking of the destruction of
    (1) IPWL_FocusHandler and (2) IPWL_Provider objects. (CVE-2016-1613)

  - The UnacceleratedImageBufferSurface class in
    WebKit/Source/platform/graphics/UnacceleratedImageBufferSurface.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome
    before 48.0.2564.82, mishandles the initialization mode, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive
    information from process memory via a crafted web site. (CVE-2016-1614)

  - The Omnibox implementation in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82 allows remote attackers to spoof a
    document's origin via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-1615)

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