The remote host is missing an update for the 'xmlrpc-c' package(s) announced via the USN-3013-1 advisory. It was discovered that the Expat code in XML-RPC for C and C++ called srand in certain circumstances, handled seeding the random number generator incorrectly, and incorrectly handled malformed XML data, leading to denial of service or code execution
