3. Problem description:
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network
management.
A denial of service bug was found in the way ucd-snmp uses network stream
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
CAN-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.

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
