The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200904-06 (Eye of GNOME: Untrusted search path)
James Vega reported an untrusted search path vulnerability in the GObject Python interpreter wrapper in the Eye of GNOME, a vulnerabiliy related to CVE-2008-5983.
Impact :
A local attacker could entice a user to run the Eye of GNOME from a directory containing a specially crafted python module, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
Do not run 'eog' from untrusted working directories.
