The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'libXfont2' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2020-2014 advisory. In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files. Please install the updated package(s)
