The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'procmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-3019-1 advisory. Boris pi Piwinger and Tavis Ormandy reported a heap overflow vulnerability in procmail's formail utility when processing specially-crafted email headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause formail to crash, resulting in a denial of service or data loss, or possibly execute arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 3.22-20+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.22-22. We recommend that you upgrade your procmail packages
