a vulnerability as referenced in the 2018_04_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_26 advisory.

  - A double-eviction in the Incognito mode cache that lead to a user-after-free in cache in Google Chrome
    prior to 66.0.3359.139 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to execute
    arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2018-6118)

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