The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2540-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GnuTLS did not perform date and time checks on CA certificates, contrary to     expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-8155)

Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified that signature algorithms matched. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade to a disallowed algorithm. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-0282)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified certificate algorithms. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to downgrade to a disallowed algorithm. (CVE-2015-0294)

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.
