The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-17 (kfax: Multiple overflows in the included TIFF library)

Than Ngo discovered that kfax contains a private copy of the TIFF     library and is therefore subject to several known vulnerabilities (see     References).

Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully-crafted TIFF     image file with kfax, which would potentially lead to execution of     arbitrary code with the rights of the user running kfax.

Workaround :

The KDE Team recommends to remove the kfax binary as well as the     kfaxpart.la KPart:
rm /usr/kde/3.*/lib/kde3/kfaxpart.la     rm /usr/kde/3.*/bin/kfax     Note: This will render the kfax functionality useless, if kfax     functionality is needed you should upgrade to the KDE 3.3.2 which is     not stable at the time of this writing.
There is no known workaround at this time.
