"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-2564-1 advisory.

    An integer overflow was discovered in the stack randomization feature of the Linux kernel on 64 bit
    platforms. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization
    (ASLR) protection mechanism. (CVE-2015-1593)

    An information leak was discovered in the Linux Kernel's handling of userspace configuration of the link
    layer control (LLC). A local user could exploit this flaw to read data from other sysctl settings.
    (CVE-2015-2041)

    An information leak was discovered in how the Linux kernel handles setting the Reliable Datagram Sockets
    (RDS) settings. A local user could exploit this flaw to read data from other sysctl settings.
    (CVE-2015-2042)

    A memory corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's scsi subsystem. A local attacker could
    potentially exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-4036)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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