The remote host is missing an update for the 'backuppc' package(s) announced via the USN-843-1 advisory. It was discovered that BackupPC did not restrict normal users from setting the ClientNameAlias parameter. An authenticated user could exploit this to gain access to unauthorized hosts. This update fixed the issue by preventing normal users from modifying the ClientNameAlias configuration parameter. Please install the updated package(s)
