The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3264-1 advisory.

  • Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state. (CVE-2017-5986)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
