The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libgsf' package(s) announced via the DLA-2183-1 advisory. A null pointer deference exploit in libgsf, a I/O abstraction library for GNOME, could be exploited to trigger a null pointer dereference and subsequently cause a crash via a crafted TAR file. For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.14.30-2+deb8u1
