The remote host is missing an update to awstats
announced via advisory DSA 1075-1.

Hendrik Weimer discovered that awstats can execute arbitrary commands
under the user id the web-server runs when users are allowed to supply
arbitrary configuration files. Even though, this bug was referenced
in DSA 1058 accidentally, it was not fixed yet.

The new default behaviour is not ao accept arbitrary configuration
directories from the user. This can be overwritten by the
AWSTATS_ENABLE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable when users are to be
trusted.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by
this problem.
