Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:076 (xli).

handling of compressed images where shell meta-characters are not properly
escaped (CVE-2005-0638). It was also found that insufficient validation of
image properties could potentially result in buffer management errors
(CVE-2005-0639).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.
