The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4792-1 advisory.

  • The cert_revoke command in FreeIPA does not check for the revoke certificate permission, which allows remote authenticated users to revoke arbitrary certificates by leveraging the retrieve certificate permission. (CVE-2016-5404)

  • FreeIPA uses a default password policy that locks an account after 5 unsuccessful authentication attempts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by locking out the account in which system services run on. (CVE-2016-7030)

  • Ipa versions 4.2.x, 4.3.x before 4.3.3 and 4.4.x before 4.4.3 did not properly check the user’s permissions while modifying certificate profiles in IdM’s certprofile-mod command. An authenticated, unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to modify profiles to issue certificates with arbitrary naming or key usage information and subsequently use such certificates for other attacks. (CVE-2016-9575)

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