Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-psutil' package(s) announced via the DLA-1998-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that there were multiple double free vulnerabilities in python-psutil, a Python module providing convenience functions for accessing system process data. This was caused by incorrect reference counting handling within for/while loops that convert system data into said Python objects. CVE-2019-18874 psutil (aka python-psutil) through 5.6.5 can have a double free. This occurs because of refcount mishandling within a while or for loop that converts system data into a Python object. For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.1-1+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your python-psutil packages.
