"The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 53.0.2785.92. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2016_08_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_31 advisory.

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before
    53.0.2785.92 on Linux allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via
    unknown vectors. (CVE-2016-5167)

  - Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux,
    mishandles deferred page loads, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a
    crafted web site, aka Universal XSS (UXSS). (CVE-2016-5147)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows
    and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML
    via vectors related to widget updates, aka Universal XSS (UXSS). (CVE-2016-5148)

  - The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92
    on Linux relies on an IFRAME source URL to identify an associated extension, which allows remote attackers
    to conduct extension-bindings injection attacks by leveraging script access to a resource that initially
    has the about:blank URL. (CVE-2016-5149)

  - WebKit/Source/bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before
    53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, has an Indexed Database (aka IndexedDB)
    API implementation that does not properly restrict key-path evaluation, which allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted
    JavaScript code that leverages certain side effects. (CVE-2016-5150)

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