Summary
The remote host is missing an update to libxml-atom-perl announced via advisory DSA 2424-1.
Insight
Insight
It was discovered that the XML::Atom Perl module did not disable external entities when parsing XML from potentially untrusted sources. This may allow attackers to gain read access to otherwise protected resources, depending on how the library is used. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.37-1+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.39-1.
Solution
Solution
We recommend that you upgrade your libxml-atom-perl packages.
