The remote host is missing an update for the 'libpam-krb5' package(s) announced via the USN-719-1 advisory. It was discovered that pam_krb5 parsed environment variables when run with setuid applications. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass authentication checks and gain root privileges. (CVE-2009-0360) Derek Chan discovered that pam_krb5 incorrectly handled refreshing existing credentials when used with setuid applications. A local attacker could exploit this to create or overwrite arbitrary files, and possibly gain root privileges. (CVE-2009-0361
