The remote host is missing an update for the 'tetex' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. teTeX is an implementation of TeX. teTeX contains backported patches to correct heap-based buffer overflow and invalid pointer dereference flaws in t1lib code, which could potentially allow arbitrary code execution with user privileges

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"teTeX is an implementation of TeX. TeX takes a text file and a set of
  formatting commands as input, and creates a typesetter-independent DeVice
  Independent (DVI) file as output.

  teTeX embeds a copy of t1lib to rasterize bitmaps from PostScript Type 1
  fonts. The following issues affect t1lib code:

  Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way t1lib processed
  Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) files. If a specially-crafted font file was opened
  by teTeX, it could cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
  code with the privileges of the user running teTeX. (CVE-2010-2642,
  CVE-2011-0433)

  An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted
  font file could, when opened, cause teTeX to crash or, potentially, execute
  arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running teTeX.
  (CVE-2011-0764)

  Red Hat would like to thank the Evince development team for reporting
  CVE-2010-2642. Upstream acknowledges Jon Larimer of IBM X-Force as the
  original reporter of CVE-2010-2642.

  All users of tetex are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct these issues.");
