The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'courier' package(s) announced via the DSA-197 advisory. A problem in the Courier sqwebmail package, a CGI program to grant authenticated access to local mailboxes, has been discovered. The program did not drop permissions fast enough upon startup under certain circumstances so a local shell user can execute the sqwebmail binary and manage to read an arbitrary file on the local filesystem. This problem has been fixed in version 0.37.3-2.3 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.40.0-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain Courier sqwebmail packages. courier-ssl packages are also not affected since they don't expose an sqwebmail package. We recommend that you upgrade your sqwebmail package immediately
