"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-2908-2 advisory.

  - The Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of
    service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to
    net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c. (CVE-2013-4312)

  - The fuse_fill_write_pages function in fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a writev system call that triggers a zero length for the
    first segment of an iov. (CVE-2015-8785)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr
    data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory.
    (CVE-2016-1575)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly restrict the mount
    namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges by mounting an overlayfs filesystem on top of a
    FUSE filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid program. (CVE-2016-1576)

  - Race condition in arch/x86/mm/tlb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to gain privileges
    by triggering access to a paging structure by a different CPU. (CVE-2016-2069)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
