The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pound' package(s) announced via the DLA-2196-1 advisory. A request smuggling vulnerability was discovered in pound, a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers, that may allow attackers to send a specially crafted http request to a web server or reverse proxy while pound may see a different set of requests. This facilitates several possible exploitations, such as partial cache poisoning, bypassing firewall protection, and XSS. For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.6-6+deb8u2. We recommend that you upgrade your pound packages
