The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2977-1 advisory.

  • Integer overflow in lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted ASN.1 data. (CVE-2016-0758)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
