"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-2737-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSI generic (sg) driver in the Linux
    kernel. A local attacker with write permission to a SCSI generic device could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or potentially escalate their privileges.

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.");
