The remote host is missing an update for the 'epiphany-browser' package(s) announced via the USN-5561-1 advisory. It was found that GNOME Web improperly filtered certain strings, leading to potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Additionally, GNOME Web mishandled long page titles, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code
