Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKA-2006:038 (squid).

This update fixes a problem in the squid package as shipped for
Mandriva Linux 2007 which affects only the x86_64 architecture. On
that platform, squid would not start, giving the following message:
FATAL: Bungled Default Configuration line 44: hosts_file
This has been fixed in the updated packages. It is recommended that
all affected users upgrade squid.
