Summary
The remote host is missing an update to inotify-tools announced via advisory DSA 1440-1.
Insight
Insight
It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the filename processing of the inotify-tools, a command-line interface to inotify, may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. This only affects the internal library and none of the frontend tools shipped in Debian. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3-2. The old stable distribution (sarge) does not provide inotify-tools. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.11-1. We recommend that you upgrade your inotify-tools package.
