The remote host is missing an update for the 'logwatch' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Logwatch is a customizable log analysis system. A flaw was found in the way Logwatch processed log files, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the root user when a malicious log file is analyzed. Users should upgrade to the updated package containing a backported patch to resolve this issue
