The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2307-1 advisory.
Tom Trnka discovered that GPGME incorrectly handled certain certificate line lengths. An attacker could use this issue to cause applications using GPGME to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
