The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2528-1 advisory.

  • The InfiniBand (IB) implementation in the Linux kernel package before 2.6.32-504.12.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 does not properly restrict use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, which allows local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device under /dev/infiniband/. (CVE-2014-8159)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
