The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssh' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A Red Hat specific patch used in the openssh packages as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (RHSA-2009:1287) loosened certain ownership requirements for directories used as arguments for the ChrootDirectory configuration options. A malicious user that also has or previously had non-chroot shell access to a system could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges and run commands as any system user. All OpenSSH users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. Please install the updated packages
