The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5077-2 advisory.
USN-5077-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apport. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Maik Mnch and Stephen Rttger discovered that Apport incorrectly handled
certain information gathering operations. A local attacker could use this
issue to gain read access to arbitrary files, possibly containing sensitive
information.
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.
