The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ldns' package(s) announced via the DSA-1795-1 advisory. Stefan Kaltenbrunner discovered that ldns, a library and set of utilities to facilitate DNS programming, did not correctly implement a buffer boundary check in its RR DNS record parser, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. The old stable distribution (etch) is not affected by this issue. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.0-1+lenny1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem was fixed in version 1.5.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ldns packages

This weakness could enable overflow of a heap buffer if a maliciously-crafted record is parsed, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. The scope of compromise will vary with the context in which ldns is used, and could present either a local or remote attack vector.
