The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'unalz' package(s) announced via the DSA-959-1 advisory. Ulf Harnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered that unalz, a decompressor for ALZ archives, performs insufficient bounds checking when parsing file names. This can lead to arbitrary code execution if an attacker provides a crafted ALZ archive
