The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:173 (ffmpeg).

possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple unspecified vectors in (1)
dtsdec.c, (2) vorbis.c, (3) rm.c, (4)sierravmd.c, (5) smacker.c, (6)
tta.c, (7) 4xm.c, (8) alac.c, (9) cook.c, (10)shorten.c, (11)
smacker.c, (12) snow.c, and (13) tta.c. NOTE: it is likely that this is
a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-4048 and CVE-2006-2802.
