Try to update and upgrade it and then re-do the vulnerability scan again.


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get --purge autoclean
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

If the kernel is updated/upgraded, you need to reboot it.


sudo reboot

+1. I keep wondering why this constantly comes up. Vulnerabilities are patched quite frequently and even if a scanner is going off the version of an application, it could have been patched without changing the version.
