The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-trusty' package(s) announced via the USN-2465-1 advisory. A null pointer dereference flaw, a race condition with MMIO and PIO transactions, a flaw in how the ARM64 platform handles a single byte overflow in __clear_user, and a stack buffer overflow were discovered in the Ubuntu 12.04 'linux-lts-trusty' package

A race condition with MMIO and PIO transactions in the KVM (Kernel Virtual

cause a denial of service (system crash) by reading one byte beyond a
/dev/zero page boundary. (CVE-2014-7843)

A stack buffer overflow was discovered in the ioctl command handling for
the Technotrend/Hauppauge USB DEC devices driver. A local user could
exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
