The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'logwatch' package(s) announced via the DSA-2182-1 advisory. Dominik George discovered that Logwatch does not guard against shell meta-characters in crafted log file names (such as those produced by Samba). As a result, an attacker might be able to execute shell commands on the system running Logwatch
