The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'backup-manager' package(s) announced via the DSA-1518-1 advisory. Mich Lenk discovered that backup-manager sends password as a command line argument when calling a FTP client, which may allow a local attacker to read this password from the process listing. We recommend that you upgrade your backup-manager package
