The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'nspr' package(s) announced via the DSA-1931-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the NetScape Portable Runtime Library, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The old stable distribution (etch) doesn't contain nspr. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.1-5. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.8.2-1. We recommend that you upgrade your NSPR packages
