The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-09 (NX 2.1: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

Chris Evans reported an integer overflow within the FreeType PCF font     file parser (CVE-2006-1861). NX and NX Node are vulnerable to this due     to shipping XFree86 4.3.0, which includes the vulnerable FreeType code.

Impact :

A remote attacker could exploit these integer overflows by enticing a     user to load a specially crafted PCF font file which might lead to the     execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user on the     machine running the NX server.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
