Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1124.

All net-snmp users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, the
snmpd and snmptrapd daemons will be restarted automatically.
