The remote host is missing an update to ethereal announced via advisory DSA 920-1. A buffer overflow has been discovered in ethereal, a commonly used network traffic analyser that causes a denial of service and may potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody14.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.10.10-2sarge3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20920-1
