The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2682-1 advisory.

A flaw was discovered in the kvm (kernel virtual machine) subsystem's kvm_apic_has_events function. A     unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2015-4692)

A flaw was discovered in how the Linux kernel handles invalid UDP checksums. A remote attacker could     exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service using a flood of UDP packets with invalid checksums.
(CVE-2015-5364)

A flaw was discovered in how the Linux kernel handles invalid UDP checksums. A remote attacker can cause a     denial of service against applications that use epoll by injecting a single packet with an invalid     checksum. (CVE-2015-5366)

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 applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
