The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3116-1 advisory.

It was discovered that DBus incorrectly validated the source of ActivationFailure signals. A local     attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS     and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-0245)

It was discovered that DBus incorrectly handled certain format strings. A local attacker could use this     issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue is only exposed to     unprivileged users when the fix for CVE-2015-0245 is not applied, hence this issue is only likely to     affect Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10 have been updated as a     preventative measure in the event that a new attack vector for this issue is discovered. (No CVE number)

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.
