The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200605-14 (libextractor: Two heap-based buffer overflows)

Luigi Auriemma has found two heap-based buffer overflows in     libextractor 0.5.13 and earlier: one of them occurs in the     asf_read_header function in the ASF plugin, and the other occurs in the     parse_trak_atom function in the Qt plugin.

Impact :

By enticing a user to open a malformed file using an application     that employs libextractor and its ASF or Qt plugins, an attacker could     execute arbitrary code in the context of the application running the     affected library.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
