The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dvipng' package(s) announced via the DSA-2048-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.13-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your dvipng package.
