"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-2242-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that dpkg incorrectly handled certain patches when unpacking source packages. If a user
    or an automated system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted source package, a remote attacker
    could modify files outside the target unpack directory, leading to a denial of service or potentially
    gaining access to the system.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
