The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-backport-oneiric' package(s) announced via the USN-1688-1 advisory. Flaws in the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem's handling of the XSAVE feature and in the handling of script execution when module loading is enabled could allow local attackers to cause a system crash and leak kernel stack contents
