"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-2620-1 advisory.

    A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's IPv4 networking when using TCP fast open to initiate a
    connection. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system
    crash).

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
