The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2481-1 advisory.
Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled delegation of authority when being used as an Active Directory Domain Controller. An attacker given delegation privileges could use this issue to escalate their privileges further.
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.
