Summary
The remote host is missing an update to module-assistant announced via advisory DSA 867-1. Eduard Bloch discovered that a rule file in module-assistant, a tool to ease the creation of module packages, creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion. It is usually executed from other packages as well. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a module-assistant package.
