The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2832-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled memory when parsing malformed files. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue     only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9496)

    Joshua Rogers discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled division when parsing malformed files. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2014-9756)

    Marco Romano discovered that libsndfile incorrectly handled certain malformed AIFF files. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause libsndfile to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7805)
