"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-203:02 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-2014-2284
    The Linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB in Net-SNMP 5.5 before 5.5.2.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.2.1, and 5.7.x
    before 5.7.2.1 does not properly validate input, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service via unspecified vectors.
    Fixed bugs:
     Introduced the new 'diskio' option in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file: it is used to specify which devices
    should be monitored; then only those will be reported in the UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOTable, which will
    greatly speed up snmpd on systems with numerous block devices.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
