The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4186-3 advisory.

  • Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel ® processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Families; Intel® Pentium® Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series; Intel® Celeron® Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900 Series; Intel® Atom® Processor A and E3900 Series; Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and E-2200 Processor Families; Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812 and before 21.20.x.5077 (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux Driver for Intel® Processor Graphics before versions 5.4-rc7, 5.3.11, 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2019-0155)

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