    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2005-395.NASL
    descriptionUpdated net-snmp packages that fix two security issues and various bugs are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management.

    descriptionThe SNMP service did not correctly handle TCP disconnects. Remote subagents could cause a denial of service if they dropped a connection at a specific time. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
