The remote host is missing an update to wmaker announced via advisory DSA 074-1. Alban Hertroys found a buffer overflow in Window Maker. The code that handles titles in the window list menu did not check the length of the title when copying it to a buffer. This has been fixed in version 0.61.1-4.1 of the Debian package, and upstream version 0.65.1
