"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3127-1 advisory.

  - The snd_compress_check_input function in sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux
    kernel before 3.17 does not properly check for an integer overflow, which allows local users to cause a
    denial of service (insufficient memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
    SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl call. (CVE-2014-9904)

  - mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing to
    page zero. (CVE-2015-3288)

  - Xen and the Linux kernel through 4.5.x do not properly suppress hugetlbfs support in x86 PV guests, which
    allows local PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by attempting to access a
    hugetlbfs mapped area. (CVE-2016-3961)

  - The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU
    Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout
    data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading
    the /proc/keys file. (CVE-2016-7042)

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