The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2365-1 advisory.

Nicolas Ruff discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled memory when being advertised large screen     sizes by the server. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, an attacker could use     this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-6051,     CVE-2014-6052)

Nicolas Ruff discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled large ClientCutText messages. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause a server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-6053)

Nicolas Ruff discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled zero scaling factor values. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause a server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-6054)

Nicolas Ruff discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled memory in the file transfer feature. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause a server to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-6055)

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.
