The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:018 (qpopper).
The Post-Office-Protocol- (POP-) Server qpopper (version 4) was vulnerable to a buffer overflow. The buffer overflow occurs after authentication has taken place. Therefore pop-users with a valid account can execute arbitrary code on the system running qpopper.
Depending on the setup, the malicious code is run with higher privileges.
There is no temporary fix known, please update your system.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command ‘rpm -Fhv file.rpm’ to apply the update.
