The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3069-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Eye of GNOME incorrectly handled certain invalid UTF-8 strings. If a user were     tricked into opening a specially-crafted image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Eye of     GNOME to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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.
