The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3183-1 advisory.

Stefan Buehler discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified the serial length of OCSP responses. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain certificate validation measures. This issue only     applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-7444)

Shi Lei discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled certain warning alerts. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to hang, resulting in a denial of service. This issue has only     been addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10. (CVE-2016-8610)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly decoded X.509 certificates with a Proxy Certificate Information     extension. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10.
(CVE-2017-5334)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled certain OpenPGP certificates. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5335, CVE-2017-5336, CVE-2017-5337)

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.
