The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'swauth' package(s) announced via the DSA-4044-1 advisory. A vulnerability has been discovered in swauth, an authentication system for Swift, a distributed virtual object store used in Openstack. The authentication token for a user is saved in clear text to the log file, which could enable an attacker with access to the logs to bypass the authentication provided by swauth
