RHSA-2005-720: ucd Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the ucd packages

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test


Updated ucd-snmp packages that a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

management.

protocols. A remote attacker could send a ucd-snmp agent a specially
crafted packet which will cause the agent to crash. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-2177 to
this issue.

All users of ucd-snmp should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
