Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3615-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or automated system were tricked     into processing a specially crafted photo file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against     LibRaw to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
