The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-backport-maverick' package(s) announced via the USN-1278-1 advisory. It was discovered that CIFS incorrectly handled authentication, a race condition in the KSM memory merging support, the NFS Lock Manager (NLM) incorrectly handled unlock requests, mapping extensions were incorrectly handled, and the wireless stack incorrectly verified SSID lengths
