The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2614-1 advisory.

Vincent Tondellier discovered an integer overflow in the Linux kernel's netfilter connection tracking     accounting of loaded extensions. An attacker on the local area network (LAN) could potential exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash of targeted system). (CVE-2014-9715)

Jan Beulich discovered the Xen virtual machine subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly restrict     access to PCI command registers. A local guest user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service     (host crash). (CVE-2015-2150)

A privilege escalation was discovered in the fork syscall via the int80 entry on 64 bit kernels with 32     bit emulation support. An unprivileged local attacker could exploit this flaw to increase their privileges     on the system. (CVE-2015-2830)

A memory corruption issue was discovered in AES decryption when using the Intel AES-NI accelerated code     path. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially     escalate privileges on Intel base machines with AEC-GCM mode IPSec security association. (CVE-2015-3331)

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 number.
