"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-3454-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libffi incorrectly enforced an executable stack. An attacker could possibly use
    this issue, in combination with another vulnerability, to facilitate executing 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.");
