The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ansible' package(s) announced via the DLA-1576-1 advisory. It was discovered that there was a potential SSH passphrase disclosure vulnerability in the ansible configuration management system. For Debian 8 Jessie, this issue has been fixed in ansible version 1.7.2+dfsg-2+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your ansible packages
