The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'fuzz' package(s) announced via the DSA-302 advisory. Joey Hess discovered that fuzz, a software stress-testing tool, creates a temporary file without taking appropriate security precautions. This bug could allow an attacker to gain the privileges of the user invoking fuzz, excluding root (fuzz does not allow itself to be invoked as root)
