The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2867-1 advisory.

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the firewall rules on bridge networks when the daemon     was restarted. This could result in an unintended firewall configuration. This issue only applied to     Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2011-4600)

Peter Krempa discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled locking when certain ACL checks failed. A local     attacker could use this issue to cause libvirt to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-8136)

Luyao Huang discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled VNC passwords in shapshot and image files. A     remote authenticated user could use this issue to possibly obtain VNC passwords. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-0236)

Han Han discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled volume creation failure when used with NFS. A remote     authenticated user could use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only applied to Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-5247)

Ossi Herrala and Joonas Kuorilehto discovered that libvirt incorrectly performed storage pool name     validation. A remote authenticated user could use this issue to bypass ACLs and gain access to unintended     files. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-5313)

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.
