The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4186-1 advisory.

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service of the host system via     local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th     Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold     Series; Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900 Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900     Series; Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100 Processor Families may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2019-0154)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th     Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold     Series; Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900 Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900     Series; Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R)     Graphics Driver for Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812 and before 21.20.x.5077     (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions 5.4-rc7, 5.3.11,     4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege via local access. (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 has a NULL pointer dereference via     an incomplete address in an endpoint descriptor. (CVE-2019-15098)

  - An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.17. It does not check     the length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - ax25_create in net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the AF_AX25 network module in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.3.2     does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-0614e2b73768. (CVE-2019-17052)

  - ieee802154_create in net/ieee802154/socket.c in the AF_IEEE802154 network module in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket,     aka CID-e69dbd4619e7. (CVE-2019-17053)

  - atalk_create in net/appletalk/ddp.c in the AF_APPLETALK network module in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2     does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-6cc03e8aa36c. (CVE-2019-17054)

  - base_sock_create in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel through     5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21. (CVE-2019-17055)

  - llcp_sock_create in net/nfc/llcp_sock.c in the AF_NFC network module in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2     does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-3a359798b176. (CVE-2019-17056)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - A use-after-free in binder.c allows an elevation of privilege from an application to the Linux Kernel. No     user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, however exploitation does require either the     installation of a malicious local application or a separate vulnerability in a network facing     application.Product: AndroidAndroid ID: A-141720095 (CVE-2019-2215)

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