The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'hztty' package(s) announced via the DSA-385 advisory. Jens Steube reported a pair of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in hztty, a program to translate Chinese character encodings in a terminal session. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by a local attacker to gain root privileges on a system where hztty is installed
