Check for the version of the tripwire package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:057-1 (tripwire). Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in tripwire that could permit a local user to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running tripwire (typically root). This vulnerability only exists when tripwire is generating an email report. Update: The packages previously released for Mandrakelinux 9.2 would segfault when doing a check due to compilation problems. The updated packages correct the problem.
