The remote host is missing an update to nvi, nvi-m17n announced via advisory DSA 085-1. A format string vulnerability exists in all versions of nvi and nvi-m17n, which could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to another user's account. The problem has been fixed in version 1.79-16a.1 for nvi and 1.79+19991117-2.3 for nvi-m17n for the stable Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
