The remote host is missing an update for the 'liblouis' package(s) announced via the USN-3408-1 advisory. It was discovered that an illegal address access can be made in Liblouis, causing a remote attacker to access sensitive information. A heap-based buffer overflow and stack-based buffer overflow in Liblouis was also discovered, leading to remote code execution and denial of service
