The remote host is missing an update to centericq announced via advisory DSA 1088-1. Mehdi Oudad and Kevin Fernandez discovered a buffer overflow in the ktools library which is used in centericq, a text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client, which may lead local or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.1-1.1woody2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.20.0-1sarge4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.21.0-6. We recommend that you upgrade your centericq package. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201088-1
