The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xitalk' package(s) announced via the DSA-462 advisory. A problem in xitalk, a talk intercept utility for the X Window System, allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands under the GID utmp, potentially leading to traces removal from the utmp file

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.11-9.1woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
