The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3474-1 advisory.

Raphael Sanchez Prudencio discovered that Liblouis incorrectly handled certain files. If a user were     tricked into opening a crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code.

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.
