Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to libpam-modules
announced via advisory USN-1237-1.

Details:

Kees Cook discovered that the PAM pam_env module incorrectly handled
certain malformed environment files. A local attacker could use this flaw
to cause a denial of service, or possibly gain privileges. The default
compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a
denial of service. (CVE-2011-3148)
