The remote host is missing an update to xpvm
announced via advisory DSA 1003-1.

Eric Romang discoverd that xpvm, a graphical console and monitor for
PVM, creates a temporary file that allows local attackers to create or
overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running
xpvm.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.5-7.2woody1.
