"The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 56.0.2924.76. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2017_01_stable-channel-update-for-desktop advisory.

  - A use after free in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for
    Android, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
    (CVE-2017-5019)

  - A heap buffer overflow in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and
    56.0.2924.87 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted
    HTML page. (CVE-2017-5012)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,
    incorrectly handled the sequence of events when closing a page, which allowed a remote attacker to inject
    arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5007)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,
    incorrectly handled object owner relationships, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary
    scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2017-5006)

  - Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android,
    allowed attacker controlled JavaScript to be run during the invocation of a private script method, which
    allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page.
    (CVE-2017-5008)

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