Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3241-1 advisory.

    Agostino Sarubbo discovered that audiofile incorrectly handled certain malformed audio files. If a user or     automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted audio file, a remote attacker could     cause applications linked against audiofile to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code.

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.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the audiofile library, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed audio file is processed.
