"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2015-269:02 advisory.

    autofs is a daemon which automatically mounts filesystems when you use
    them, and unmounts them later when you are not using them.  This can
    include network filesystems, CD-ROMs, floppies, and so forth.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-8169
    Fixed bugs:
    * If the ls * command was executed before a valid mount, the autofs program
    failed on further mount attempts inside the mount point, whether the mount point
    was valid or not. While attempting to mount, the ls * command of the root
    directory of an indirect mount was executed, which led to an attempt to mount
    *, causing it to be added to the negative map entry cache. This bug has been
    fixed with this update.
    * The autofs program by design did not mount host map entries that were
    duplicate exports in an NFS server export list. The duplicate entries in a
    multi-mount map entry were recognized as a syntax error and autofs refused to
    perform mounts when the duplicate entries occurred. With this update, fixed the problem.
    * The autofs program did not recognize the yp map type in the master map. This
    was caused by another change in the master map parser to fix a problem with
    detecting the map format associated with mapping the type in the master map. The
    change led to an incorrect length for the type comparison of yp maps that
    resulted in a match operation failure. This bug has been fixed by correcting the
    length which is used for the comparison.
    * The autofs program did not update the export list of the Sun-format maps of
    the network shares exported from an NFS server. This happened due to a change of
    the Sun-format map parser leading to the hosts map update to stop working on the
    map re-read operation. The bug has been now fixed by selectively preventing this
    type of update only for the Sun-formatted maps.
    * Within changes made for adding of the Sun-format maps, an incorrect check was
    added that caused a segmentation fault in the Sun-format map parser in certain
    circumstances. The bug was fixed with this update.
    * A bug in the autofs program map lookup module caused an incorrect map format
    type comparison. The incorrect comparison affected the Sun-format program maps
    where it led to the unused macro definitions. With this update, fixed it.
