The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xconq' package(s) announced via the DSA-354 advisory. A buffer overflow in xconq, in processing the USER environment variable and a similar problem with the DISPLAY environment variable could be exploited by a local attacker to gain gid 'games'. It is fixed in version 7.4.1-2woody2

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 7.4.1-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. Refer to Debian bug #202963.
