Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-147-1 [1] fixed a remote code execution vulnerability in the XMLRPC module of the PEAR library. Unfortunately the packages announced in USN-147-1 were faulty and shipped broken xmlrpc modules.
The updated packages ship correct modules.
