The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-22 (libksba: Denial of Service and information disclosure)

It was found that an unproportionate amount of memory is allocated when       parsing crafted certificates in libskba, which may lead to Denial of       Service condition.
Moreover in libksba 1.3.4, allocated memory is uninitialized and could       potentially contain sensitive data left in freed memory block.

Impact :

A remote attacker, able to interact with an libksba-based application,       could possibly obtain sensitive information or cause a Denial of Service       condition.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
