The remote host is missing an update for the 'logrotate' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files, allowing the automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. A shell command injection flaw, a race condition flaw, and an input sanitization flaw were found in logrotate. All logrotate users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues

  A shell command injection flaw was found in the way logrotate handled the
  shred directive. A specially-crafted log file could cause logrotate to
  execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running
  logrotate (root, by default). Note: The shred directive is not enabled by
  default. (CVE-2011-1154)

  A race condition flaw was found in the way logrotate applied permissions
  when creating new log files. In some specific configurations, a local
  attacker could use this flaw to open new log files before logrotate applies
  the final permissions, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive
  information. (CVE-2011-1098)

  An input sanitization flaw was found in logrotate. A log file with a
  specially-crafted file name could cause logrotate to abort when attempting
  to process that file a subsequent time. (CVE-2011-1155)

  All logrotate users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains
  backported patches to resolve these issues.");
