Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:007 (imlib).

that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code
when the file was opened by a user (CVE-2004-1025).

permit a possible hacker, creating a carefully crafted image file, to cause an
application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code or crash
