The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wml' package(s) announced via the DSA-1492-1 advisory. WML creates insecure temporary files in the eperl and ipp backends and in the wmg.cgi script, which could lead to a local denial of service by overwriting files. Version 2.0.11-1etch1 fixes these problems in the stable distribution (etch)
