The remote host is missing an update to pound
announced via advisory DSA 934-1.

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pound, a reverse proxy and
load balancer for HTTP. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2005-1391:
    Overly long HTTP Host: headers may trigger a buffer overflow in the
    add_port() function, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code.

  • CVE-2005-3751:
    HTTP requests with conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding
    headers could lead to HTTP Request Smuggling Attack, which can be
    exploited to bypass packet filters or poison web caches.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain pound packages.
