which has been patched by the vendor in a newer release of the
system" );

"The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X which is older than
version 10.4.

Versions older than 10.4 contain a security issue in the way they handle
the permissions of pseudo terminals. 

When an application uses a new pseudo terminal, it can not restrict its 
permissions to a safe mode. As a result, every created pseudo terminal
has permissions 0666 set, which allows a local attacker to sniff the session
of other users." );
