The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2310-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted Draft 9 requests. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-1016)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain malformed KRB5_PADATA_PK_AS_REQ AS-REQ     requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1415)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted TGS-REQ requests. A remote     authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1416)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain crafted requests when multiple realms were     configured. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-1418, CVE-2013-6800)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain invalid tokens. If a remote attacker were able     to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause the daemon to crash, resulting     in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4341, CVE-2014-4342)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain mechanisms when used with SPNEGO. If a remote     attacker were able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be used to cause clients to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4343)

    It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain continuation tokens during SPNEGO     negotiations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting in a denial     of service. (CVE-2014-4344)

    Tomas Kuthan and Greg Hudson discovered that the Kerberos kadmind daemon incorrectly handled buffers when     used with the LDAP backend. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the daemon to crash, resulting     in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-4345)

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.
