The remote host is missing an update for the 'dhcp3' package(s) announced via the USN-1108-1 advisory. Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the dhclient utility incorrectly filtered crafted responses. An attacker could use this flaw with a malicious DHCP server to execute arbitrary code, resulting in root privilege escalation
