The remote host is missing an update to module-assistant
announced via advisory DSA 867-1.

Eduard Bloch discovered that a rule file in module-assistant, a tool
to ease the creation of module packages, creates a temporary file in
an insecure fashion. It is usually executed from other packages as
well.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a module-assistant
package.
