The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'slocate' package(s) announced via the DSA-252 advisory. A buffer overflow in the setgid program slocate can be used to execute arbitrary code as group slocate. This can be used to alter the slocate database. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.6-1.3.1. The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected by this problem. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-1. We recommend that you upgrade your slocate package immediately
