"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2014:1243 advisory.

    Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files compliant
    with the GNU Coding Standards.

    It was found that the distcheck rule in Automake-generated Makefiles made a
    directory world-writable when preparing source archives. If a malicious,
    local user could access this directory, they could execute arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running make distcheck. (CVE-2012-3386)

    Red Hat would like to thank Jim Meyering for reporting this issue. Upstream
    acknowledges Stefano Lattarini as the original reporter.

    All automake users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
    contains a backported patch to correct this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
