The remote host is missing an update for the 'pgpdump' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0157 advisory. When pgpdump is run on specially crafted input, a denial of service condition occurs. The program runs with 100% CPU usage for an indefinite amount of time. A remote attacker is able to create a specially crafted input that is leading to CPU resource consumption resulting in denial of service (CVE-2016-4021)
