"The Secure Programming Group of the Oulu University did a study on
SNMP implementations and uncovered multiple problems which can cause
problems ranging from Denial of Service attacks to remote exploits.

New UCD-SNMP packages have been prepared to fix these problems as well
as a few others. The complete list of fixed problems is :

  - When running external programs snmpd used temporary
    files insecurely
  - snmpd did not properly reset supplementary groups after
    changing its uid and gid

  - Modified most code to use buffers instead of
    fixed-length strings to prevent buffer overflows

  - The ASN.1 parser did not check for negative lengths

  - The IFINDEX response handling in snmpnetstat did not do
    a sanity check on its input

(thanks to Caldera for most of the work on those patches)


The new version is 4.1.1-2.1 and we recommend you upgrade your snmp
packages immediately."
