"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-591:02 advisory.

    SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management. The NET-SNMP project
    includes various SNMP tools: an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting
    information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps and a version of the netstat
    command which uses SNMP. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.
    You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-2141
    No description available at the time of writing, please use the CVE link below.
    Bug Fixes
     A previous fix to snmpd crashing when an AgentX subagent disconnected while processing a request
    introduced a memory leak. This has been fixed.
     The BRIDGE-MIB wrongly converted the interface-index values from the kernel and reported incorrect
    ifIndex OIDs. The conversion problem has been fixed.
     snmpd does not modify logging settings when parsing proxy options, and no more unexpected debug messages
    are added to the system log.
     moved /var/lib/net-snmp fro net-snmp to net-snmp-libs package
     fixed proxying of out-of-tree GETNEXT requests
     fixed snmpd crashing with many AgentX subagent
     fixed SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID value when sysObjectID config file option with long OID was used
     fixed value of BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dBasePortIfIndex.1
     fixed parsing of proxy snmpd.conf option not to enable verbose logging by default
     added new realStorageUnits config file option to support disks > 16 TB in hrStorageTable
     added vxfs, reiserfs and ocfs2 filesystem support to hrStorageTable
     fixed snmpd sigsegv when embedded perl script registers one handler twice
     fixed setting of SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrRowStatus via SNMP-SET request on 64-bit platforms
     fixed crash when /var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes/ files have wrong SELinux context
     fixed memory leak when agentx subagent disconnects in the middle of request processing
     fixed slow (re-)loads of TCP-MIB::tcpConnectionTable
     removed 'error finding row index in _ifXTable_container_row_restore' error message

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
