Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxcursor' package(s) announced via the DLA-1201-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that libXcursor, a X cursor management library, is prone to several heap overflows when parsing malicious files. An attacker can take advantage of these flaws for arbitrary code execution, if a user is tricked into processing a specially crafted cursor file.
