The remote host is missing an update to unalz
announced via advisory DSA 959-1.

Ulf Härnhammer from the Debian Audit Project discovered that unalz, a
decompressor for ALZ archives, performs insufficient bounds checking
when parsing file names. This can lead to arbitrary code execution if
an attacker provides a crafted ALZ archive.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain unalz.
