The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mailman' package(s) announced via the DSA-955-1 advisory. Two denial of service bugs were found in the mailman list server. It could cause the server to crash. A message containing a bad date string could cause a server crash. The old stable distribution (woody) is not vulnerable to this issue
