The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2855-2 advisory.

USN-2855-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. The upstream fix for CVE-2015-5252 introduced a regression in     certain specific environments. This update fixes the problem.

Original advisory details:

Thilo Uttendorfer discovered that the Samba LDAP server incorrectly handled

certain packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the LDAP

server to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue

only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu 15.10.

(CVE-2015-3223)

Jan Kasprzak discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain symlinks. A

remote attacker could use this issue to access files outside the exported

share path. (CVE-2015-5252)

Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba did not enforce signing when

creating encrypted connections. If a remote attacker were able to perform a

machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive

information. (CVE-2015-5296)

It was discovered that Samba incorrectly performed access control when

using the VFS shadow_copy2 module. A remote attacker could use this issue

to access snapshots, contrary to intended permissions. (CVE-2015-5299)

Douglas Bagnall discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain string

lengths. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly access

sensitive information. (CVE-2015-5330)

It was discovered that the Samba LDAP server incorrectly handled certain

packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the LDAP server to

stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-7540)

Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly checked administrative

privileges during creation of machine accounts. A remote attacker could

possibly use this issue to bypass intended access restrictions in certain

environments. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.04 and

Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-8467)

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.
