Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:100 (rsh).
A vulnerability in the rcp protocol was discovered that allows a server to
instruct a client to write arbitrary files outside of the current directory,
which could potentially be a security concern if a user used rcp to copy files
from a malicious server.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
