The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pyjwt' package(s) announced via the DSA-3293-1 advisory. Tim McLean discovered that pyjwt, a Python implementation of JSON Web Token, would try to verify an HMAC signature using an RSA or ECDSA public key as secret

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.1-1+deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
