The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3323-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the GNU C library did not properly handle memory when processing environment     variables for setuid programs. A local attacker could use this in combination with another vulnerability     to gain administrative privileges.

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.
