Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:0407 advisory.

 - logrotate: TOCTOU race condition by creation of new files (between opening the file and moment, final permissions have been applied) [information disclosure] (CVE-2011-1098)
