---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated ucd-snmp packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7 and
7.1. These packages include fixes for the following problems:

 - /tmp race and setgroups() privilege problem
 - Various buffer overflow and format string issues
 - One signedness problem in ASN handling

It is recommended that all users update to the fixed packages.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386

Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64

3. Problem description:

Due to the mentioned security problems a remote attacker might obtain
superuser privileges on a vulnerable host.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
