The remote host is missing an update to libgtop announced via advisory DSA 098-1. Two different problems were found in libgtop-daemon: a format string problem in the logging code and a buffer overflow in the function that authorizes clients. Both problems have been fixed in version 1.0.6-1.1

  * The laboratory intexxia found a format string problem in the logging
code from libgtop_daemon. There were two logging functions which are
called when authorizing a client which could be exploited by a remote
user.

  * Flavio Veloso found a buffer overflow in the function that authorizes
clients

Since libgtop_daemon runs as user nobody both bugs could be used
to gain access as the nobody user to a system running libgtop_daemon.

Both problems have been fixed in version 1.0.6-1.1 and we recommend
you upgrade your libgtop-daemon package immediately.");
