The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'newsbeuter' package(s) announced via the DSA-3977-1 advisory. It was discovered that podbeuter, the podcast fetcher in newsbeuter, did not properly escape the name of the media enclosure, allowing a remote attacker to run an arbitrary shell command on the client machine
