The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2212-1 advisory.

Stephen Stewart, Michael Nelson, Natalia Bidart and James Westby discovered that Django improperly removed     Vary and Cache-Control headers from HTTP responses when replying to a request from an Internet Explorer or     Chrome Frame client. An attacker may use this to retrieve private data or poison caches. This update     removes workarounds for bugs in Internet Explorer 6 and 7. (CVE-2014-1418)

Peter Kuma and Gavin Wahl discovered that Django did not correctly validate some malformed URLs, which are     accepted by some browsers. An attacker may use this to cause unexpected redirects. An update has been     provided for 12.04 LTS, 12.10, 13.10, and 14.04 LTS; this issue remains unfixed for 10.04 LTS as no     is_safe_url() functionality existed in this version.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
