The remote host is missing an update for the 'tex-common' package(s) announced via the USN-1103-1 advisory. Mathias Svensson discovered that the tex-common package contains an insecure shell_escape_commands configuration item. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TeX file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Please install the updated package(s)
