The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-2283-1 advisory. Flaws in the Linux kernel's point-to-point protocol (PPP) and segmentation of skbs when using the zerocopy feature of vhost-net could lead to privilege escalation and information leak respectively
