The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3318-1 advisory.

Hubert Kario discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled decoding a status response TLS extension. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 17.04. (CVE-2017-7507)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled decoding certain OpenPGP certificates. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7869)

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.
