The remote host is missing an update to xpdf announced via advisory DSA 581-1.
Insight
Insight
Chris Evans discovered several integer overflows in xpdf, a viewer for PDF files, which can be exploited remotely by a specially crafted PDF document and lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.00-3.2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.00-9. We recommend that you upgrade your xpdf package.
