The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'vlc' package(s) announced via the DSA-1819-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code by opening specific file types. For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5.1+etch3. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2, which was already included in the lenny release. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.6.h-5. We recommend that you upgrade your vlc packages
