The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3403-1 advisory.

Kamil Frankowicz discovered that Ghostscript mishandles references. A remote attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-11714)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered that Ghostscript could allow a heap-based buffer over-read and application     crash. A remote attacker could use a crafted document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9611,     CVE-2017-9726, CVE-2017-9727, CVE-2017-9739)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered an use-after-free vulnerability in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use a     crafted file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9612)

Kim Gwan Yeong discovered a lack of integer overflow check in Ghostscript. A remote attacker could use     crafted PostScript document to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9835)

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.
