The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2817-1 advisory.
It was discovered that IcedTea Web incorrectly handled applet URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject applets into the .appletTrustSettings configuration file and bypass user approval.
(CVE-2015-5234)
Andrea Palazzo discovered that IcedTea Web incorrectly determined the origin of unsigned applets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass user approval, or to trick the user into approving applet execution. (CVE-2015-5235)
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.
