"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-2777-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that virtio networking in the Linux kernel did not handle fragments correctly, leading
    to kernel memory corruption. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
    or possibly execute code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2015-5156)

    Benjamin Randazzo discovered an information leak in the md (multiple device) driver when the
    bitmap_info.file is disabled. A local privileged attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information
    from the kernel. (CVE-2015-5697)

    Marc-Andr Lureau discovered that the vhost driver did not properly release the userspace provided log
    file descriptor. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).
    (CVE-2015-6252)

    It was discovered that the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    verify sockets were properly bound before attempting to send a message, which could cause a NULL pointer
    dereference. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-6937)

    Ben Hutchings discovered that the Advanced Union Filesystem (aufs) for the Linux kernel did not correctly
    handle references of memory mapped files from an aufs mount. A local attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges.
    (CVE-2015-7312)

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
