Summary
The remote host is missing an update to imlib announced via advisory DSA 548-2. Marcus Meissner discovered a heap overflow error in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11, that could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. The updated packages we have provided in DSA 548-1 did not seem to be sufficient, which should be fixed by this update. For the oldstable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-2woody3.
