The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mediawiki' package(s) announced via the DSA-2957-1 advisory. Omer Iqbal discovered that Mediawiki, a wiki engine, parses invalid usernames on Special:PasswordReset as wikitext when $wgRawHtml is enabled, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to insert malicious JavaScript, a cross site scripting attack. For Debian 7, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.19.16+dfsg-0+deb7u1
