The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xonix' package(s) announced via the DSA-484 advisory. Steve Kemp discovered a vulnerability in xonix, a game, where an external program was invoked while retaining setgid privileges. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain gid 'games'. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem will be fixed in version 1.4-19woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon
