Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the mikmod package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-404 (mikmod).

MikMod is one of the best and most well documented MOD music file players
for UNIX-like systems. This particular distribution is intended to
compile fairly painlessly in a Linux environment. MikMod uses the OSS
/dev/dsp driver including all recent kernels for output, and will also
write .wav files. Supported file formats include MOD, STM, S3M, MTM,
XM, ULT, and IT. The player uses ncurses for console output and
supports transparent loading from gzip/pkzip/zoo archives and the
loading/saving of playlists.

Install the mikmod package if you need a MOD music file player.
