The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libvncserver' package(s) announced via the DSA-3753-1 advisory. Libvncserver incorrectly processed incoming network packets, which resulted in several heap-based buffer overflows, allowing a rogue server to cause a DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on the client side. The issues have been fixed in version 0.9.9+dfsg2-6.1+deb8u2 for the stable distribution (jessie) and in version 0.9.11+dfsg-1 for the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions. It is recommended to upgrade libvncserver packages
