Summary
The remote host is missing an update to thttpd announced via advisory DSA 1205-2. Marco d'Itri discovered that thttpd, a small, fast and secure webserver, makes use of insecure temporary files when its logfiles are rotated, which might lead to a denial of service through a symlink attack. The original advisory for this issue didn't contain fixed packages for all supported architectures which are corrected in this update.
