The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-xenial' package(s) announced via the USN-3151-2 advisory. It fixes vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, providing corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. A race condition in the af_packet implementation in the Linux kernel could be used by a local unprivileged attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash) or run arbitrary code with administrative privileges
