Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pound' package(s) announced via the DLA-1280-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A request smuggling vulnerability was discovered in pound that may allow attackers to send a specially crafted http request to a web server or reverse proxy while pound may see a different set of requests. This facilitates several possible exploitations, such as partial cache poisoning, bypassing firewall protection and XSS.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.6-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pound packages.
