Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'usermode' package(s) announced via the DLA-2744-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
This update is merely a rebuild of the usermode package, which are a set of graphical tools for certain user account management tasks, fixing two issues: a) the versioning issue as wheezy (Debian 7) had a greater version than jessie (Debian 8) and stretch (Debian 9), thereby causing upgrade issues. b) the package now Depends and Build-Depends on the newer libuser1-dev (>= 1:0.62~dfsg-0.1) to ensure the latest version of libuser is used (which was a security fix).
Affected Software
