The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3274-1 advisory.

It was discovered that ICU incorrectly handled certain memory operations when processing data. If an     application using ICU processed crafted data, a remote attacker could possibly cause it to crash or     potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

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 number.
