The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200510-02 (Berkeley MPEG Tools: Multiple insecure temporary files)

Mike Frysinger of the Gentoo Security Team discovered that     mpeg_encode and the conversion utilities were creating temporary files     with predictable or fixed filenames. The 'test' make target of the MPEG     Tools also relied on several temporary files created insecurely.

Impact :

A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary     files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
When the utilities are executed (or 'make test' is run), this would     result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user     running the command.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
