Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'swift' package(s) announced via the USN-2256-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:

WWW-Authenticate header value. If a user were tricked into navigating to a
malicious Swift URL, an attacker could conduct cross-site scripting
attacks. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked
into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote
attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential
data, within the same domain.

Affected Software/OS:
'swift' package(s) on Ubuntu 14.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
