The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3032-1 advisory.

It was discovered that eCryptfs incorrectly configured the encrypted swap partition for certain drive     types. An attacker could use this issue to discover sensitive information.

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.
