The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libplist' package(s) announced via the DLA-840-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libplist, a library for reading and writing the Apple binary and XML property lists format. A maliciously crafted plist file could cause an application to crash by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow and memory allocation error in the plist_from_bin function. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8-1+deb7u2. We recommend that you upgrade your libplist packages
