Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:033 (spamassassin).
The anti spam tool SpamAssassin was prone to a denial-of-service

would waste a lot of CPU cycles parsing the Content-Type header.

version of spamassassin. Older versions are not affected.
