The remote host is missing an update for the 'net-snmp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2008-210-07 advisory. New net-snmp packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues. It addresses a vulnerability where an attacker could spoof an authenticated SNMPv3 packet due to incorrect HMAC checking and a buffer overflow exploited if an application using the net-snmp perl modules connects to a malicious server
