The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. cURL on CentOS 5 performs credential delegation when authenticating with GSSAPI, allowing a rogue server to obtain the client's credentials and impersonate the client to other servers. Users of curl should upgrade to the updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue
