Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdepimlibs' package(s) announced via the DLA-673-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Roland Tapken discovered that insufficient input sanitizing in KMail's plain text viewer allowed attackers the injection of HTML code. This might open the way to the exploitation of other vulnerabilities in the HTML viewer code, which is disabled by default.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 4:4.8.4-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdepimlibs packages.
