The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2426-1 advisory.
Michele Spagnuolo discovered that FLAC incorrectly handled certain malformed audio files. An attacker could use this issue to cause FLAC to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
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.
