The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the DSA-2280-1 advisory. It was discovered that libvirt is prone to an integer overflow (CVE-2011-2511) and a denial of service due to error reporting not being thread-safe (CVE-2011-1486). For Debian 5, Debian 6, please install the updated package(s)

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.3-5+squeeze2.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.4.6-10+lenny2.
