The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-apt' package(s) announced via the DLA-2074-1 advisory. Several issues have been found in python-apt, a python interface to libapt-pkg. It was discovered that python-apt would still use MD5 hashes to validate certain downloaded packages. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be used to install altered packages. It was also discovered that python-apt could install packages from untrusted repositories, contrary to expectations. For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.3.13. We recommend that you upgrade your python-apt packages
