The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2567-1 advisory.
Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly validated MAC fields. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication and spoof packets. (CVE-2015-1798)
Miroslav Lichvar discovered that NTP incorrectly handled certain invalid packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-1799)
Juergen Perlinger discovered that NTP incorrectly generated MD5 keys on big-endian platforms. This issue could either cause ntp-keygen to hang, or could result in non-random keys. (CVE number pending)
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.
