The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2306-1 advisory.

Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled the getaddrinfo() function.
An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
(CVE-2013-4357)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled the getaddrinfo() function. An attacker could     use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04     LTS. (CVE-2013-4458)

Stephane Chazelas discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled locale environment variables. An     attacker could use this issue to possibly bypass certain restrictions such as the ForceCommand     restrictions in OpenSSH. (CVE-2014-0475)

David Reid, Glyph Lefkowitz, and Alex Gaynor discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled     posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen() path arguments. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2014-4043)

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.
