The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tnef' package(s) announced via the DSA-3869-1 advisory. It was discovered that tnef, a tool used to unpack MIME attachments of type 'application/ms-tnef', did not correctly validate its input. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a malicious attachment, which would result in a denial-of-service by application crash. For Debian 8, the problem has been fixed in version 1.4.9-1+deb8u3. We recommend that you upgrade your tnef packages
