The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdelibs' package(s) announced via the DSA-539 advisory. The SUSE security team alerted that in some cases the integrity of symlinks used by KDE are not ensured, allowing a local attacker to abuse them to create or truncate arbitrary files or to prevent KDE applications from functioning correctly. This problem has been fixed in certain versions of the distribution. It is recommended to upgrade kdelibs packages
