The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gopher' package(s) announced via the DSA-832-1 advisory. Several buffer overflows have been discovered in gopher, a text-oriented client for the Gopher Distributed Hypertext protocol, that can be exploited by a malicious Gopher server. The issue has been fixed in various versions for different distributions and it is recommended to upgrade the gopher package
