The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory.

Update your system with the appropriate patches or software upgrades. http://libpng.sourceforge.net/ADVISORY-1.4.1.html http://secunia.com/advisories/38774 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/56661 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/4fb5d2cd-4c77-11df-83fb-0015587e2cc1.html

The following package is affected: png CVE-2010-0205 The png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a 'decompression bomb' attack.
