The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libtasn1-3' package(s) announced via the DLA-950-1 advisory. Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS libtasn1, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerabilities allow execution of arbitrary code but require tricking a user into processing a specially crafted assignments file

Two errors in the 'asn1_find_node()' function (lib/parser_aux.c) can be exploited to cause a stacked-based buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code but requires tricking a user into processing a specially crafted assignments file by e.g. asn1Coding utility.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, this problem has been fixed in version 2.13-2+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-3 packages.
