The remote host is missing an update for the 'base-files' package(s) announced via the USN-968-1 advisory. It was discovered that the Ubuntu image shipped on some Dell Latitude 2110 systems was accidentally configured to allow unauthenticated package installations. A remote attacker intercepting network communications or a malicious archive mirror server could exploit this to trick the user into installing unsigned packages, resulting in arbitrary code execution with root privileges. Please install the updated package(s)
