The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2788-2 advisory.

USN-2788-1 fixed vulnerabilities in unzip. One of the security patches caused a regression when extracting     0-byte files. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled certain password

protected archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into

processing a specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could possibly

execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7696)

Gustavo Grieco discovered that unzip incorrectly handled certain malformed

archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a

specially crafted zip archive, an attacker could possibly cause unzip to

hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7697)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
