The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-ec2' package(s) announced via the USN-1776-1 advisory. Flaws were reported in the permission checks by the Linux kernel for /dev/cpu/*/msr, handling of memory ranges with PROT_NONE when transparent hugepages are in use, and the VFAT filesystem driver when a disk is mounted with the utf8 option

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernels handling of memory ranges with
PROT_NONE when transparent hugepages are in use. An unprivileged local user
could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash the system).
(CVE-2013-0309)

A flaw was discovered on the Linux kernel's VFAT filesystem driver when a
disk is mounted with the utf8 option (this is the default on Ubuntu). On a
system where disks/images can be auto-mounted or a FAT filesystem is
mounted an unprivileged user can exploit the flaw to gain root privileges.
