The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gopher' package(s) announced via the DSA-638-1 advisory. 'jaguar' has discovered two security relevant problems in gopherd, the Gopher server in Debian which is part of the gopher package. An integer overflow can happen when posting content of a specially calculated size. A format string vulnerability has been found in the log routine. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.3woody2. The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain a gopherd package. It has been replaced by Pygopherd. We recommend that you upgrade your gopherd package
