Summary
The remote host is missing an update to pdfkit.framework announced via advisory DSA 961-1.
infamous41md and Chris Evans discovered several heap based buffer overflows in xpdf which are also present in pdfkit.framework, the GNUstep framework for rendering PDF content, and which can lead to a denial of service by crashing the application or possibly to the execution of arbitrary code.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain pdfkit.framework packages.
Solution
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.8-2sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your pdfkit.framework package.
