The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2536-1 advisory.

Ilja van Sprundel, Alan Coopersmith, and William Robinet discovered that libXfont incorrectly handled     malformed bdf fonts. A local attacker could use this issue to cause libXfont to crash, or possibly execute     arbitrary code in order to gain privileges.

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.
