The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sendmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-554-1 advisory. Hugo Espuny discovered a problem in sendmail, a commonly used program to deliver electronic mail. When installing 'sasl-bin' to use sasl in connection with sendmail, the sendmail configuration script use fixed user/pass information to initialise the sasl database. Any spammer with Debian systems knowledge could utilize such a sendmail installation to relay spam. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 8.12.3-7.1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 8.13.1-13. We recommend that you upgrade your sendmail package
