The remote host is missing an update for the 'grub2' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0480 advisory. A flaw was found in the way the grub2 handled backspace characters entered in username and password prompts. An attacker with access to the system console could use this flaw to bypass grub2 password protection and gain administrative access to the system (CVE-2015-8370)
