Summary
The remote host is missing an update to cupsys
announced via advisory DSA 950-1.
infamous41md and Chris Evans discovered several heap based buffer overflows in xpdf which are also present in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, and which can lead to a denial of service by crashing the application or possibly to the execution of arbitrary code.
For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.14-5woody14.
Solution
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.23-10sarge1.
