The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several security related problems have been discovered in webcalendar, a PHP based multi-user calendar. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

- CVE-2005-3949 Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

- CVE-2005-3961 Missing input sanitising allows an attacker to overwrite local files.

- CVE-2005-3982 A CRLF injection vulnerability allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
