- The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2003:005 (leafnode).

- A vulnerability was discovered by Jan Knutar in leafnode that Mark Brown pointed
- out could be used in a Denial of Service attack. This vulnerability causes
- leafnode to go into an infinite loop with 100% CPU use when an article that has
- been crossposed to several groups, one of which is the prefix of another, is
- requested by it's Message-ID.
- This vulnerability was introduced in 1.9.20 and fixed upstream in version
- 1.9.30. Only Mandrake Linux 9.0 is affected by this, but version 1.9.19 (which
- shipped with Mandrake Linux 8.2) is receiving an update due to critical bugs in
- it that can corrupt parts of its news spool under certain circumstances.
