The remote host is missing an update for the 'libwmf' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. libwmf is a library for reading and converting Windows Metafile Format (WMF) vector graphics. A pointer use-after-free flaw was found in the GD graphics library embedded in libwmf. An attacker could create a specially-crafted WMF file that would cause an application using libwmf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the application when opened by a victim. Red Hat recommends upgrading to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, restart all applications using libwmf
