The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'icedtea-web' package(s) announced via the DSA-2768-1 advisory. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in icedtea-web, a web browser plugin for running applets written in the Java programming language. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-3~deb7u2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-3.1. We recommend that you upgrade your icedtea-web packages
