The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-xenial' package(s) announced via the USN-3220-2 security advisory. The update provides corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It fixes a double-free vulnerability in the N_HDLC line discipline implementation in the Linux kernel that could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a denial of service or gain administrative privileges
