The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'purity' package(s) announced via the DSA-166 advisory. Two buffer overflows have been discovered in purity, a game for nerds and hackers, which is installed setgid games on a Debian system. This problem could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to the group games. A malicious user could alter the highscore of several games. This problem has been fixed in version 1-14.2 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 1-9.1 for the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 1-16 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your purity packages. Please install the updated package(s)
