Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2232-2 advisory.

 USN-2232-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenSSL. The upstream fix for CVE-2014-0224 caused a regression for certain applications that use tls_session_secret_cb, such as wpa_supplicant. This update fixes the problem.
