The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2629-1 advisory.
It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled reference counting when handling localized strings. A remote attacker could use this issue to escalate permissions, upload a replacement CUPS configuration file, and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1158)
It was discovered that the CUPS templating engine contained a cross-site scripting issue. A remote attacker could use this issue to bypass default configuration settings. (CVE-2015-1159)
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.
