The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxml2' package(s) announced via the DSA-2779-1 advisory. Many out-of-bounds read issues in libxml2, the GNOME project's XML parser library, can lead to denial of service issues when handling XML documents that end abruptly. For Debian 6, the problem has been fixed in version 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze8. For Debian 7, the problem has been fixed in version 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu2. We recommend that you upgrade your libxml2 packages
