The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2692-1 advisory.

Matt Tait discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled PIT emulation. In a non-default configuration, a     malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on     the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with     libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-3214)

Kevin Wolf discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled processing ATAPI commands. A malicious guest could use     this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user     running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be     isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-5154)

Zhu Donghai discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the SCSI driver. A malicious guest could use this     issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the     QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by     the libvirt AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-5158)

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.
