The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libical' package(s) announced via the DLA-959-1 advisory. It was discovered that there was a use-after-free vulnerability in the libical iCalendar library. Remote attackers could cause a denial of service and possibly read heap memory via a specially crafted .ICS file
